I like how chris is more comfortable throwing Barb under the short bus as of late. I love how he's basically telling her if she wants to beg then do it herself. I'd love to see Barb come up with her own OC comic and YouTube hijinks.

Well, with people here constantly making excuses for him like he's a battered wife, of course, he'll throw Barb under the bus instead of conserving money and pay what he owes.

Remember how we always say that Chris will never earn enough to lose his tugboat? Well he's been cleaning up since April, lets round down to 2,000$ a month, at this rate he could clear 24k in unreported income a year, and what was the tugboat cutoff? Like $18,000? Chris might be getting a little too good at capitalism for his own sake.

Chris dies a billionaire at the age of 96 after having taken over the entire Internet.

In Jan-March he made the most, which was post video. In the past few months, he's been making less than 350, which is the most current and furthest from the video. It also speaks to how small Chris' fandom is and how disliked he is amongst Internet culture. Chris only got less than 1,000 dollars per month regularly on Patreon not including Mr. Cherry. Pewdie got 5,000,000 views for making videos featuring Chris. That's 5,000,000 new potential Patreon customers and ebay buyers. Chris should have been rich by now.

Pewdiepie didn't make a video saying "give this person money" though, he made videos mocking Chris in the same sort of way everybody else has. That's not 5M potential customers, it's 5M people that maybe chuckled before mostly forgetting who Chris was. People don't regularly give money to everyone that their youtuber of choices references, that's just not a thing that happens.

Chris has an insanely big fandom for someone with no serious talents and no serious skills, and he is not disliked by internet culture, he's one of the few living memes. He's a joke and people laugh at him, we wouldn't do that if we all disliked him. Sure there are A-logs out there, but Chris has white knights and actual "fans" too, even if the majority of them are only in on it ironically. Chris isn't some high-tier artist that everyone adores for the quality work they produce, he's the funny little clown that one-ups himself whenever you think he's got to be done by now. That doesn't get him much money, because he isn't getting RESPECT. People like him a lot, they just have no respect for him and so they don't give him money. It's well known he wastes money on toys constantly and lies about "needs" to get more money, if he was actually struggling he'd be getting plenty of help. Don't forget that after the fire he got sent care packages and gift cards and all kinds of stuff, people wouldn't do that if he was disliked by everyone.

Has Chris ever had to file income taxes on all this crap he sells online? He markets it as his business. Want to see the monkey dance? Make the Monkey deal with the IRS. Given how he sells things, and promptly tells every one, and the records kept by the Christory community, it would be quite entertaining to see how he gets out of that one.

Oh also Hi.

You are in the farms bud. The age of trolling Chris is over for here. Take your ideas to 4chan or 8chan.

If you were an IRS employee with a comfortable, union-protected government job, would you give a fuck about Chris's minor shit? No. No you wouldn't. No one else does either.

If you were looking at getting the boot and needed an easy win, possibly.

Ok its official, his entire twitter fanbase has turned on him after this.

Even the most deranged "blank slater" sjw's are not buying his bs on twitter and telling him to get a job. Begging with pearls on seems to have tipped the scales too far.

I have never seen people discuss Chris outside of here, and people here seem pretty numb to his antics. I checked the replies to the Twitter post, some were trolls, some said get a job (which we know isn't possible), but the two things that stood out the most were to work on his Patreon and make comics, or to budget his finances better so this doesn't become a routine.

People helping him out and bankrolling him after begging like an internet gypsy aren't doing him favors. Someone needs to be in control of the Chandler finances where they hold all the money, pay the bills, and give Barb and Chris an allowance.

People were saying the exact same thing since the day he started selling medallions years ago. The autists have not stopped throwing cash at him even after all this time. It's mind boggling, but Chris always manages to find a way to hawk his shit. I don't expect it to stop any time soon. Autism always finds a way.

It is also not obvious.

1. You can sell stuff you own while on SSDI. That isn't income. That is just transforming an asset you own from one form to another. The rules about when you are operating as a business are intricate but generally you have to either a) act as a middleman by buying stuff not for your own use and immediately selling it for a higher price or b) creating or otherwise adding value to the stuff you sell. None of Chris sales that I am aware of fit into category a). Some, but not all, fit into category b). When he sold his old phone to Null for a market price, he wasn't really acting as a business.

2. When operating a business, the relevant question is not revenue, but profits, which is revenue minus costs. Chris' "business" has substantial shipping costs and a bunch of other costs too. For example, I believe he could deduct driving to the post office and back at 54.5 cents per mile.

3. It is not one strike and you are out with SSDI. The "trial work period" rules allow a recipient to occasionally earn money without considering it a demonstration of an ability to consistently earn a living.

Not that any of that is particularly relevant. The government isn't going to look into it, and Chris doesn't have the bookkeeping records to get into any this. But even in the hypothetical, it isn't obvious how much Chris is violating SSDI rules.
