Maybe I'm just stupid. But I was thinking about something. Obviously the number is constantly changing but generally speaking there is a finite amount of money and assets in the US, right? I mean there's only so much that exists at any one time. So that means that the more people there are that hoard massive amounts of wealth, the less money there is for everyone else to go around, right? Pls tell me if I'm wrong.

yes the assests are limited

even if you print money you are not creating unlimited value

since you are deflating the value of money at the same time

so you can't actually have infinite money glitch

So that means that the more billionaires there are in the US, the poorer the average person will be? Since there would be less money to go around

You're basically wrong. Assets aren't finite because what an asset even is is somewhat debatable. An idea could be an asset. The value of assets is also not a discrete quantity but more like a continuous probability cloud. If you look at stocks they change value all day long and the bid/ask spread is sometimes kind of large and even with no news a stock can move significantly. If a country gains more people it gains more human capital which can spur asset creation and value growth. That's why immigration is generally associated with increased economic productivity and growth.

Billionaires don't tend to have money, they have wealth and wealth is not "real" in the sense that money is. They can turn their wealth into money, but tend to not do that to any significant degree because wealth grows and money does not. Rich people consume far less per unit of wealth than poor people do.

pretty much a company makes so much money

the more money that goes to the CEO the less money that can go to the rest of the employees

CEOs and other C-suite are typically paid primarily in stock, not cash.

I don't understand what you mean. Stock is effectively unlimited since the corporation can always issue more though.

that's literally impossible

you can't have unlimited stock

you can have an assurance of supply and demand for your product but you can't have unlimited

at that point its still the same problem

the bigger share of the pie one takes the smaller piece the other will have to settle for

Of course you can have unlimited stock. There's no limit to what the company can issue. Go look at AMC or any of those other failed meme stocks, they issued orders of magnitude more shares when they "mooned".
>you can have an assurance of supply and demand for your product but you can't have unlimited
Oh, you're ESL or something? Stock as in shares in the company.
>the bigger share of the pie one takes
Shares are not part of the pie in the traditional sense. Employees typically prefer cash and so are paid in cash. Management typically prefers shares and so are paid in shares. This works well for everyone.

If there isn't enough money to go around, they will just print more money.
Money is just a tool to facilitate the sharing of resources in a society.
Treating money as a resource itself is just a naive way of looking at economics.

Americans spend a lot of money on whores. Theres not much hoarding of the dollar. Whores are terrible with money and it always gets back into circulation. Whores just have to have everything. They arent willing to compromise or to plan their week, I see whores buying everything they ever wanted with somebody elses money. Thats why I want a girl who isnt a whore. Girls who are like perfect looking, and senile. And a virgin too. With pretty big boobs, but like not too big. And a big bum, like its a nice cozy place to store my assets. And her feet should be like the dainty variety. With cute suckable toes. And is down for anal stuff, I hate when girls say no so she better be prepared to get her sphincter completely ruined for the rest of her week, she will be sharting on the floor because her ass doesnt close all the way once im done with her.

You don't sell back to the company, you sell to other market participants.

A trade can only happen if both participants agree to it. The future performance or lack thereof has no bearing on the fairness of the trade.
