CLIP taken from Rick and Morty Season 3 Episode 1 "Rickshank Redemption"
Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block Adult Swim. The series follows the misadventures of cynical mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his good-hearted but fretful grandson Morty Smith, who split their time between domestic life and interdimensional adventures. The series premiered on December 2, 2013, and the third season concluded on October 1, 2017. In May 2018, the series was picked up for an additional 70 episodes over an unspecified number of seasons. - ตลก

Well he actually can't universe hop too much. He said so in "Rick potion No. 9"
Ah yes, the most boring, yet effective way to topple a government
*economics ftw*
I mean it's cool but it doesn't make any sense economically. The value of a currency is whatever people believe it is. All the government would have to do is say "This currency is still worth 1 of itself" and people could still behave as such until they fixed the 1 character of code that Rick changed (and it doesn't make sense why that variable he changed would exist in the first place)
@@KodakKid33 It makes perfect sense. Stupidity is the foundation stone of economics. Confuse people and they're liable to panic their way into an economic collapse, even when they could just say what you said and move on.
It's a logical impossibility to change the value of something from one of itself to none of itself. I can't believe people are somehow trying to justify this as realistic.
The whole point of this scene is to screw with Rick and Morty fans who like to talk about how realistic the show or try to justify everything being totally logical.
@@rtozier2011 bruh
@@tehcommenterofepic Yes, it's impossible. But what's not impossible is making people believe it's possible. That's all the economy is: belief. That's what Rick's taking advantage of.

I find it interesting how the blaster the President shot himself with looks just like a Glock with a paint job, as opposed to every other weapon in this show.
It looks more like a S&W M&P 9MM to me.
john titor Square slide, squared off trigger guard, vertical slide serrations, bottom of pistol grip has that fat part like a Glock, what features of an M&P do you see?
To quote another comment in this video, to him its an alien gun, a collectible like Zulu spears

@Quest Tzecai The topic here is about currency, labor is irrelevant here.
Honestly, if the entirety of a civilization depended on something so fragile and singular, then it didn't deserve to exist in the first place.
ShadowDurza From what I know of behavioral economics, the value only stops existing if people don’t believe the currency will be valued. So as long as any sufficiently large group of people treat it as valid, then the scrap of paper with a 1 is valued at 1. For Rick’s plan to work, the Galactic gvt must be centralized to an insane degree and somehow communicate the currency value with no info gaps. Really cool idea.
Fortunately the current economic system is too decentralized so even if the entire US got Thanos’d, the dollar would still have some value. Not what it is now, but some. Goes to show as complicated as global systems are, they’re complicated for a reason. Look at all the worries EU nations have had sharing a currency with a fluctuating value based on the actions of peers. Neither system is perfect, but by George, humans make it work. Can’t say the same for these bugs.
@@conorgleeson2453 maybe that's why Rick used this plan. It never would have worked on a human government but these guys ain't human are they?
@@robbieking4070 Yes, i agree. But the obvious message is a (light and hilarious) critique to how our stability is dependent on the value of a currency, which has no value in itself. A situation like this (but without "intelligent?" space insects) can happen even in our world, maybe due to hyperinflation or other reasons.
@@apc9714 Very true and kinda scary.
Conor Gleeson I’m not saying your wrong because I don’t know a lot about currency and economics but if I think if the U.S government were to disappear the value of the dollar would be worthless I thought the value currency was only worth the economics of the government.
But like I said I’m not sure so feel free to school me
ok, to be real though, the easiest solution to "the one is now a zero" is simply: Do nothing! If the public doesn't know that their money is worth nothing now, they will continue to act and spend money as if nothing changed at all. Likewise, you can do the same and spend/receive currency as if nothing has happened. Something only has value if people say it has value, the economy would have been perfectly fine if they just didn't panic.
Wouldn't that solution fall apart when the stock exchange opens? Even with a singular currency it would be tracked by traders and in a galaxy the exchange should be active 24/7 which means the investors and such would know the truth before even the governement on account of how quickly they need to react to changes in the economy. It would be like the Wall Street crash of 1929 investors killing themselves only much worse, the news would report it until they realised they were not being paid the public would know whats up initially but then be in the dark and chaos assumes.
I'm not sure that would work, you know there's a reason why there's a variable value of the currency depending on the imports and exports to other galaxies, so, if the currency dropped to zero the other galaxy literly could buy everything in this and they will die of hunger unless they change their economy to be solely depending on the galaxy itself and that will result to a galactic war somewhen in the future.

“Employee of the month ladies and gentlemen”
Note to self: After building a powerful galactic empire, be sure to include a terminal in the galaxy’s toughest prison made for its most dangerous inmates so people at said prison can access all institutions of state and topple the government in a myriad of ways
I think Rick just hacked it, but yes, it is stupid
Also make sure that every guard who works in the deepest depths of the prison where the most ruthless criminals are, has a badge that can get them unquestioned access to every door and gate between that most secure position and complete freedom.
"Or set their military portals to disintegrate their entire space fleet"
Huh. That's relevant now
0:16 that made laugh so hard
"He who control the pants control the galaxy!"
Everyone in government and their affiliates please take this wise advise.
like what the president bug did?
Because the FED can literally just change the value of money by accessing an excel spreadsheet and changing a specific cell to ‘0.’ Grow up
I uh... not sure if this is as simple as changing the value of a currency to a zero. Because... well... its more complicated than that. So much so that they made an entire subject to be learned called economics. Mind blowing right?
Creating new money by selling valueless (as in, not profitable for anyone that buys it) debt of that same money and filling the "bag" of all the economic money with that valueless money, making real hard worked money in that bag untraceable and a minority, is how economies and most specifically the fed and eu are changing the number from 1 to 0. This is metaphorically already happening people and it's not going to look pretty.
Note: the bag is just a metaphor to reference where the money goes, the economy
How to topple an empire. Screw their economy.
That’s something you almost *never* see on a series
Rick and Morty is really, really good.
Leche de caballo
Usually it’s
“BUILD A RESISTANCE! TAKE IT BY FORCE! Etc”
But in actuality, the best/most successful revolutions happen from inside the government.
Usually involving other more strategical assets like politicians, soldiers, generals, bankers,
Anything that involves the economy and military, the whole wazoo.
Cough cough Mr Robot
TrainerDarkrai
Alright wise guy, name at least 3 other shows that have people topple an empire by screwing their economy?
@@couragew6260 That's interesting, as a sci-fi/fantasy writer I feel like that could make for some really interesting stories.
The beauty of this joke is that by changing a 1 to a 0, Rick did not destroy a civilization but collapsed a government. Those are two different things. Currency devaluation almost always leads to a change of order, but the people and their culture don’t just disappear because of it.
Nah, they released shorts showing that the Galactic Federation’s civilization basically collapsed with this. They even have a video showing how these bug things can cook their young to survive the ongoing collapse.

0:25 foreshadowing season 5 finale, said by a morty
What's funny is that the Galactic Government could potentially recover from Summer & Morty's ideas. But toppling the economy? Well that's a pretty effective way to keep the government off Rick's back
As we found out later from Tanya, all the bug leaders ended up dead and the new leaders are half her age.
Rick did a rather efficient job of throwing a spanner in the gear box.
It was actually quite zen and kung fu what he did. Minimal effort for maximum effect. It was possibly the least violent thing he did all season, that led to the deaths of millions.
No, with how stupid the bugs are there were definitely loads of dead civilians.
They should have noticed someone changed the number, and quickly and easily changed it back.
Ricks plan only works cause no one followed reasonable logic.
Most people won't get this but the moment he materialized the butt was the moment Rick understood he could cast his genjutsu on the entirety of shoney's and the whole reality.
For the love of god, watch something other than Naruto.
It's genbuttsu, but yes. You have learned much.
0:25 foreshadowing evil Morty.
Bro they’re literally almost the same people ofc they’d have the same ideas or something like that
"Good pitches, kid. I'm almost proud. But watch closely as Grampa topples an empire by changing a one...to a zero!"
_Destroying everything with just one simple nuclear-button-type click. I define it epic._
The only way he could be more efficient would have been by the Power of Doing Nothing.
You'd be surprised how effective that can be.
0:24 all Morty's think alike... Evil Morty's plan was basically this.
What I loved about this is moment is that it was making a point of the absurdity of relying on currency as an incentive, let alone a centralized currency.
Everyone involved could very easily continue to do what it is that is required for things to remain operable, but instead resort to primative fear and fighting.
“Calm down people”.
But who’s going to pay me to do that?
I like that Rick dealt with both his Government Level enemies in one move, I suppose the enemy of my enemy are actually the people you lock in a room together and let them do all the work
I love how the Galactic President is Calculon from Futurama.
I never noticed
He's also Crocubot, Abradolf Lincler, The Brain from Pinky and the Brain, Inspector Gadget, Doctor Doom, etc.
This is more relevant than ever.
Thanks for posting
The way he rubbed his claws together like thumb and finger when he said "I can answer that , for money." 😂
This is why you shouldn't have a unified centralised currency.
this is why you should use the gold standard as backup for your curency
@@doppelhelixes gold standard is also a fictional value in itself. Nixon proved it by removing the gold standard for US dollar which lead to US currency being based in other type of value which where based on US dollar.
@@andmos1001 And how exactly that has worked out so far? You saw the crash of 09 and how bad that was this is why more invested towards precious metals mainly silver
@@djmars1983 The gold standard would not work.
@@djmars1983 Plenty of economic crashes (including the big one) took place back when there was a gold standard.
Its interesting how Rick hated the Galactic Federation because of it's need to control and centralize everything, and it was that exact trait that created a single point of failure that doomed their entire government.
RIP Employee of the Month
Press 'F' to Pay Respects
This is actually a very realistic scenario.
"Wait, who's paying me to yell at him?"
Cracks me up every time.
Back when I watched this without knowing anything about economics, I actually thought that $1 is literally the entire budget of the galactic governmenr
I honestly like the detail of the galactic president, he actually knew how to deal with the problem, if you look closely however, once everyone else in the office start arguing over their payment and such, his eyes widened, as in he realized there is nothing he can do so he just does his thing so to not see his government collapse

Also note the microcosm of the AAA game industry
@@brano13177 just because a country has an economic crash that doesn't mean capitalism has collapses on itself, periodic economic depresions are normal and have been ocurring since the dawn of civilazation.
@@cugeltheclever3766 an economic crash is by definition a collapse... not to mention capitalism is a system based off of mercantilism, plutocratic exploitation, of people's, resources, communities, societies, ect.
And falsehood on the claims that "it's normal since the dawn of civilization" because that asserts, falsely, that capitalism as an economic doctrine had always existed in human history; when in reality it hasn't and never had until much recently in human history. What humanity used before was the barter system and several other systems and forms of mercantilism before capitalism came to be.
Lastly; for profit prisons are just Capitalist gulags.

@@JoshSweetvale That's why the U.S. military doesn't have a pay attached to their contract... it has a "pay grade" of which you'll entered into the armed services as but no actual guarantee of pay.

This is going to happen one day IRL.
Local Bug Politician accidentally kills self while trying to summon Persona
Funny how Game Stop got almost the same reaction.
I guess that's yet another good reason not to use currency with an artificially determined value instead of something consistently valuable based on market forces, like gold, or in this case whatever the intergalactic equivalent would be.
Honestly if the value of their currency was determined entirely by setting the number on a computer I'm surprised they hadn't collapsed already.
1:04 me when I have one of my manic depressive panic attacks
the EU and the ECB also the FED, summed up into one episode:
I dont know anything about how stuff like this works but if Rick could change the value of the currency like that cant people working for the government just change it back again?
Or is that something only a super genius like Rick is supposed to be able to do?
Since that's there only currency value similar to stock marketing, he prob got rid of it. So that meant they cant buy it back because they're broke in general.
1:01 But you're right. Actually they could. ...For money. But now 1 unit of the currency is worth 0. Changing its worth back to the worth of 1 unit gives 0. But really you'd like to watch Mr. Robot series.
Essentially, the idea is that since the closest access to it is a warzone, and any other access would require effort, their ingrained mindset of value extraction means they refuse to work without being paid, meaning that if their wages are currently nothing, none of them are willing to put in the work to fix the problem. Its an indictment of the current atmosphere of the government putting all its emphasis on transactions rather than other forms of value, and of wage slavery in general creating a fundamentally fragile society. No, I do not have a high IQ, thank you for asking, its average

0:32 WOW, HOLY SHIT. That's brilliant
Lol. Russia today.
There's nothing such a switch to configure the value of a currency unless the economy of the galaxy is corrupted because its truly depends on the imports and exports from/to other galaxies so, there's a chance that the president killed himself because of the public rage or maybe he can transfer his brain to another bug like Rick did in of the episodes.
Considering what the Galactic Government did to Earth, this was INCREDIBLY cathartic.
Huh, reprogramming the portals to disintegrate their space fleets is also almost exactly what Evil Morty did to the Citadel.
Great Morties think alike
can we just say morty's suggestion was way better than summer's
He is a bit more experienced with this kind of thing.
Stargate Atlantis did that during its final season. It was called the Attero Device. A galaxy-wide FTL jammer. Could be tuned to different types of FTL, and destroyed any ship that turned on their drive.
Unfortunately it overcharged the eponymous Stargates, which started exploding too. Too bad so sad.
1:04 me in my class meeting
If they were smart the president would've just said "make an announcement saying it's a computer error and see if we can't discover the cause of the problem while martial law is declared"
