Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Given GDP is a fake number that increases every time money is moved eg if you and a friend hand a $1 bill back and forwards a billion times you technically just increased the GDP by $1 billion dollars. I would say he definitely increases the GDP, but the accuracy of pricing is, well relative to say the least, if we didn't have high speed traders we couldn't be that "accurate" so if this is true it's still unnecessary since the average man can't spend money at the speed of light through a distance optimized path. As far as reducing the price of anything, uh no, no that would be a stretch of even the most generous of readings.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Yes, Wendy's have always prided themselves on their optimized spending paths.
Why arent there people trading 1$ bills to increase GDP by billions of dolars as a full-time job
Day traders
I think if you do this legally, you'll have to pay taxes every time because you're earning a dollar
Why doesnt the gouvernment let you not pay taxes so they can brag about being the richest country
It's more nuanced! See page 52, section C-5.
