WASHINGTON—Calling the evidence “troubling,” researchers from the Economic Policy Institute issued a statement Wednesday warning Americans that money withering to ash in their hands could be a sign of a recession. “We found that numerous $5 bills suddenly turning into a powdery residue that slips through your fingers may be one of the strongest indicator that our country is heading toward a significant period of decline,” said lead researcher Kevin White, who recommended that Americans prepare for what may be looming ahead by attempting to fruitlessly grab at the charred remains of their savings as it blows away with the wind and spirals off into the horizon. “We’ve studied hundreds of cases across the country of Americans opening their wallets only to find nothing but cinders. Originally, we were hoping this was a sign of a comeback, but it turns out things are looking rather dire. This may be even worse than when money began fading slowly out of existence in 2008. At this rate, we fear that there may be no cash left by the end of Q3.” At press time, White urged Americans not to withdraw any money from their bank accounts, as they might suffocate in the sheer amount of ash.\n

So this is how you deal with wealth inequality

Naaaaaaah

Everything just needs to start becoming digital

Should I get a digital urn for the digital ash from my bitcoin? Somebody get Conor Oberst on the phone.....

Yep. With the snap of their fingers, Congress and the Billionaire class made half the money in the United States disappear. Now wealth distribution if perfectly imbalanced, as no things should be.

It’s the end times

Don’t play poker so close to the fireplace,silly people.

Neoliberalism Has Tricked Us Into Believing a Fairytale About Where Money Comes From. There is nothing natural about money. There is no link to some scarce essential form of it that sets a limit to its creation.

Damn.

And here I was thinking that my Ex-wife had Thanos snapped my pay check with the alimony payments again...

Reminds me of the money hole, back when the Onion was hilarious.

or a nuclear bomb

The only thing withering to ash is The Onion's revenue stream. TheOnionSucks

Even though I look at the Onion every day, I still read a headline or two and get all confused before I realize I’m dumb

Or Thanos.

So what you’re telling me is that my girlfriend is a walking Recession?

My credit card is leaking a dark viscose thing out of the magnetic strip

reassuringly, it makes a good dry rub for short-ribs, and can be snorted for a mild narcotic effect.

Mr. Stonks, i don't feel so good

this is why i keep all of my money moist

Is this part of the Green New Deal. Money eventually decomposes and can be reused as mulch.

Mr. Treasurer, I don't feel so good.
