New $10,000 bills exclude poorer Americans
Business News
(Fort Knocks) The newly minted and much publicized $10,000 bill will not be available to the general public it was announced today. Excluding the impoverished and the dwindling middle class from the upgrade, the move once again stacks the deck in favor of those who already have all the money.
One affluent and well insulated inequality pioneer sneered at the prospect of sharing the wealth with those fiscally beneath him.
Saying that poor Americans “would only hurt themselves with the swollen currency”, billionaire, Invidious T. Morganthau, told us: “Only the well- heeled will have the money to buy these and use the currency properly,” he sniffed? “It’s a non-issue.”
The author of the rarely reviewed Caucasians at the Racetrack continued, insisting that the bills would swiftly cease to be a premium or even fall out of circulation if the poor had access to them.
“They would get them dirty,” he said, “whereas the rich would keep them in their safes and take them out only clean them and to show off down at the country club,” he explained.
“Imagine these valuable bills circulating depressed neighborhoods. They’d be either spent on drugs or stolen,” he continued. Think of the counterfeiting that would go on in back alleys and crack houses.”
“And what would the great unwashed have to put up for collateral anyway?” he mused. “Dangerous thinking of this type needs to be eradicated before our big, beautiful feudalistic with freedom for all system is obliterated. Moat or no moat, private armies or not, brain washing be damned — there are still more of them than us.”
Other brahmans chimed in saying the entire matter was ludicrous.
“Most of these types have never even seen a $100 bill much less one of these $10,000 babies,” offered Wyatt Wyatt, another silver spoon pirate who has managed to spin his boyhood inheritance into a vast fortune by selling defective condoms in emerging nations.
“Just look at the average life expectancy of a hundred dollar bill in the hands of the desperate for instance. They get it and spend it right away. They have no sense of financial management or the dangers of inflation. I have witnessed this behavior time and time again in my career,” he shook his head.
While Donald the Trump will grace the $10,000 bill, a second minting will feature The Rogue Supreme Court on the front with a fully camouflaged Mike Pence on the back. The $5000 will be minted only through the summer season as a souvenir or keepsake for wealthy Russian tourists who can still afford a vacation in the U.S.
Where to get yours: Contact White House Brokers across from the Conflict of Interest Memorial or at any of our 50 Wall Street locations. Potential buyers must show white-collar tax records (of some kind) and proof of net worth. And remember what your your banker says: Just because you may have earned your first paycheck from questionable commerce is no indiction that you should rely on this alternate markets to secure these monetary units at your new found status.
“The average American does not understand money or have respect for large sums,” smiled Morganthau. “It would be instant anarchy if these bills spilled out into the mainstream.”

TOURISTS RECALLED
Tourist model #8819-AA has been recalled by the cosmic factory due to a series of defects according to sources unfamiliar with these occurrences.
“Model #8819-AA has obvious problems, as many of you out there have already encountered,” said a factory rep who demanded animosity.
Residents may notice a sharp decline in appearances of this model until February when the #8819-AA will be reintroduced into the general population.
Leper Colonies May Reopen
(Molokai) The nation’s remaining leper colonies will reopen for business this morning according to federal officials in the region. Homeland Security and FBI contingents, having intercepted medical masks and ventilators at gunpoint, say the threat of viral eruptions in now minimal there.
“It’s the old adage rearing it’s ugly head once again in the face of common sense,’” said Burt Favela who fills the vacant position as executive director of the Hawaii GOP. “Just because you were born on the bus do you deserve free bus rides for life?” he asked
The distinctly overweight Favela, who has been described as a corpulent leper by adversaries, told friendly news media that he thinks everyone should pull his own weight whether they have leprosy or not.
In other news Hawaii Governor David Ige says he disagrees with a Trump proclamation calling meat-processing plants essential during the pandemic.
“Will this include spam?” joked the governor.

McConnell: “Free Electoral College for every American”
Mitch “Kentucky Windage*” McConnell today promised free electoral college tuition for all Americans in return for concessions from Democrats regarding drilling rights to the Moon.
McConnell claimed that his constituency in Kentucky was already receiving this entitlement but few as yet have applied for this latest privilege.
“Senator McConnell doesn’t even care how you voted this is his gift to the people of Kentucky and all Americans,” said a closet aide.
Unreliable sources in Lexington say they have no knowledge of this offer or qualifications for the program.
“We’re still waiting for test kits,” said one angry representative who plans to vote for Amy McGrath for Senate in November.

Mountain Report
The Rockies, including the San Juans and Elk ranges, are up there again today standing, like a stone wall against the elements…at peace with their surroundings and in total immersion with the coming day.
According to seismic apparatus on the scene, the mountains have shifted ever so slightly to the east, compensating for a semi-detectible shift to the north last Friday. They are covered with a deep blanket of snow in 94 % of gorges and saddles with little coverage on ledges, pinnacles and other exposed terrain or on the south faces.
Despite the coming of spring down at lower altitudes many fury residents continue to burro in or hide out to survive the cold winter conditions common to areas of higher altitude.
These monuments of rock are projected to be part of the skyline landscape for many, many years to come. It is clear that the mountains will be here when humankind has disappeared or moved on. In short: Everything is copasetic in the high country.
The mountains will remain this way while most of our daily problems melt into future dilemmas and our children’s children gaze up at them in awe…in retrospect, all the more reason not to take us, and our brief time here, too seriously.
