Guillotine economics
You behead the ultra-rich (I’m thinking hectomillionaires and above) and all of their worst enablers and then divide their resources between those that need them the most, with anything too big for one person to own becoming public property.
I have a friend who’s pretty wealthy and they feel pretty guilty about it. They’re looking at buying a house, spending the vast majority of their inherited wealth in the process. My belief is that whilst being able to do this is in a huge level of privilege, they’re much more likely to be dining than on the menu at an “eat the rich” party. And honestly, that baffles me somewhat — it highlights just how obscenely wealthy the ultra rich are if my wealthy friend is nowhere in the same ballpark
Can we at least give them the chance to willingly forfeit their extreme wealth before resorting to decapitation. I imagine many would still refuse, but I feel it’s ethically necessary to provide them with a choice.
Alright. Well give then time equal to the time local labour laws allow for firing.
So for instance US at-will states, no warning for the rich. In countries with better labour laws, it will be longer.
Anyone billionaire pretending they don’t know the Earth is fucked because of a system in which like them can exist is just feigning ignorance.
Honestly I’ll take the blood as payment.
Keep that shit in a bag as a trophy on my top shelf.
Write “Fucked around and found out” on it.
Trickle down economics works perfectly fine. It’s just that billionaires are subhuman and so are further down than the rest of us.
Theodore Roosevelt believed in pinñataconomics. That trust buster always carried a big stick.
We’re going to need a bigger stick, though.
Nah, we just need more people with sticks.
Zerg rush.
