not my meme but ain't it great? The billionaire/trillionaire class is hyper-fixated on NUMBers, to the point where all they can see is the price of the shares they hold, while the vAluEs of the underlying companies are small beans to them!

statesmanship
The 2010's have been an extremely interesting decade have they not? "The beatings will continue until morale improves" Russia, with its enormous power over American presidential elections, even being allowed to take out an ad on fb for goodness sake, has been able to shift political global dominance to herself.
