Maybe each of them pulls a stack of autograph cards out of their pocket (or out from their cleavage) so you can pick which of the various pictures of them on stage in silly and obviously hypnotized situations you want autographed. Can't have them just signing blank scraps of paper for their fans.

People on the street calling them "the hypno bunnies from that show" and instead of questioning that they just start arguing over which of them the person meant, distracting themselves while they start posing on request and writing autographs as "I'm hypnotized and oblivious – Bunny 1 / Bunny 2"

Not sure the numbers even had to be made up yet. Between the billions shoveled into the AI pit and people having to pay more money on just about anything thanks to tariffs, I can see how the numbers would go up a bit longer even as nothing of actual value was actually purchased from all that money.
riverroad.bsky.social (@riverroad.bsky.social) reply parent
Even if the numbers aren't just made up entirely, "huge investment" and "strong purchasing power" is gonna be code for "burning billions on the AI bubble" and "customers paying more due to tariffs". As long as money is moved, it doesn't matter to the economy how much of it is shoveled into a pit.
