The infuriating part about this is that I try showing these things to people who claimed 10 years ago that $15 min wage would lead to $35 BIG MACs.

And whenever I try to show them the results, like this, they reply with “I don’t remember saying that…”

Then they wonder why I don’t talk to them anymore or consider their opinions on anything.

I knew a person who thought if Hillary became president it would lead to WWIII because women in power would upset the world view of men in charge.

I just looked at him and said “So you don’t have a fucking CLUE who’s in power in other countries then, and remain willfully ignorant on world views.”

Now, everytime I have to be around me, he’s trying to tell me how in 5 years the U.S. Dollar won’t exist. It will be all crypto, because it’s decentralized and has no government overreach. Then he said “you can even get it at 7-11 at their ATM.”

I just replied “How do you not get punched more often?”
