Mr Pool's post is real and is being shared as an example of an absurd idea. There is no verified context beyond the tweet itself.
Mr Pool's post exists. A user has verified it and shared it with sarcasm: "Is this a joke or not? And then they call it crazy stuff." The original message is five years old and has now been dug up as an example of absurdity.
## What is known about Mr Pool's post
The tweet sharing it does not include the literal content, only the image and the question. The verification is limited to confirming that the post is authentic, not to validating what it says. There is no further public information about the author's reach or intentions.
## Why it is being shared now
The humor lies in the reaction: someone stumbles upon something that seems made up and finds out it is not. The joke works because reality outdoes parody. There is no indication that the post is related to any specific economic news.
## The risk of taking an absurd idea as fact
A verified tweet is not an economic source. Mistaking an old joke for serious analysis leads to false conclusions. If the post is used to talk about money or investing, it should be cross-checked against official sources.
