  1. 44b on “elf labor”…sure, like we don’t know Santa only uses slave labor. I’m sure that 44b is actually going towards snow lines

  2. Hohoho! Good one, mate. Better than a lot of posts on here.

  3. Security should get a noticeable budget bump after a data breach like this.

  4. Considering this analysis was orginally made in 1978 – I have to imagine that the ‘surveillance’ cost has gone down significantly. Meta has a marketcap of 1.6T, so just purchasing it outright would turn the cost into a revenue stream with time to profitability of 6 years!

  5. So what you’re saying is that if we cut military spending the world could have two xmases a year.

  6. Why does this sub lately just straight up have random charts posted as “beautiful”? Half the time it shows up in my feed it’s like a regular bar graph or something getting upvoted.

  7. North Pole Military Protection cost tho 😭and it’s paid with YOUR taxes !

  8. Santa was causing all that inflation the entire time by pumping so much money into the economy

  9. $500 million just to store his sleigh? Santa is definitely money laundering.

  10. Smdh I can’t believe there’s no insurance and bond. Do you know how many properties he enters??

  11. God I hate sankeys. I wish we could ban them from this sub or at least put them all in a weekly sticky post.

  12. They could finance part of the operation by mining crypto and using the waste heat to warm up those North pole houses. And if the elves have time off-season, there are both fish and minerals below the ice to extract and sell.

  13. You’re paying far too much for distribution. Who is your reindeer guy?

  14. Who does Santa pay rent to? I thought he owned the North Pole.

    The most expensive house in the world is Buckingham Palace and that is worth $5 billion dollars. How is Santa paying $219 billion a year? His landlord is obviously scamming him.

  15. No way, I call b.s. His legal costs CERTAINLY exceeds 0.16% of his annual costs. That’s too many kids on his laps. Too many roof landings and chimney tumblings. And not to mention the stolen property and trespassing accusations.
