He's attempting a joke (badly) in tune with my comments that all the people sitting at home, including gov't workers collecting full pay, along with all the other rich shut-ins, with nothing to waste their excess cash on, are helping to drive up the price of stocks, crypto, sportscards, domains, NFTs, blockchain collectibles, etc.
Idle hands are the devil's workshop.
$6 NBA Hot Shots packs selling for $2K, every day a new record price on a Modern trading card, NFTs and NFT art setting price records, crypto coins spiking to unheard of levels before falling back, Reddit driving GameStop stock to the moon and creating mass chaos - no, all this would still be happening without the pandemic keeping people bored and in their homes. Sure...
This is an observed and confirmed economic trend that some choose to believe is pure fantasy and worthy of their poor attempts at humor.
