Isn't it weird how when billionaires make more money "a rising tide raises all boats", but when the poorest make more money, suddenly there's extreme resource scarcity?

Rising tide raises all yachts. Most of us can’t afford boats, so we’re just drowned by the tide.

> "a rising tide raises all boats" I've never heard any billionaire claim that; they don't even pretend to give a fuck. I guess "trickle down theory" is the closest I've ever heard.

Yes, because of trickle-down economics. Didn't you know that tides come from rain???
