It used to be a joke

The trope of a beauty pageant contestant saying what she would do if made leader of the world: "I would convert every dollar bill into a million dollars to combat poverty"

And everyone knew it was a joke and laughed, there was no question that it was a dumb idea

But now it seems people genuinely believe this now, just in a slightly different form. When people express desire for everyone's wages to increase, it isn't really any different than the beauty pageant idea, just smaller in magnitude. Or when they want the government to give everyone money to solve some kind of problem on a macro scale (eg solve housing affordability by giving everyone housing money)

It isn't funny anymore

Do you not understand that more people making more money devalues it; effectively creating greater poverty
