This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

something something glaziers fallacy.
Obviously this is a joke, but if it even sounded remotely plausible to anyone reading fix yourself.
yeah I figured you were, but it seemed like some people were actually engaging with it. As if make-work somehow made the line go up.
There's a fun joke:
2 economists are out walking. The first economist sees a pile of dog shit and says to the other, "I'll pay you $50 to eat that dog shit." So he does and gets paid $50. Later on, the second economist sees a pile of dog shit and says to the first, "I'll pay you $50 to eat that pile of dog shit." So he does and gets paid $50.
The first economist says, "I can't help but feel we just ate dog shit for nothing." "Nonsense," says the second economist, "We just contributed $100 to the economy."
Of course actual economists aren't this terrible, but the popular perception of economics/monetary theory is about this braindead.
