Billions are going to die because of only 4,000 people with names and addresses.
We need more Luigi’s.
Killing the billionaires will solve most of the world’s human created problems overnight.
I don’t know about that, the reason these billionaires exist is because they’re at the top of the pyramid of a fucked system, if they all died overnight they’d just be replaced by the next one in line, cheap plastic shit and toxic food would still get produced, pollution would still keep happening etc. I mean there’s a chance that the event might work some sense into the rest of them, or scare them into enacting actual change but it’s not a given.
You see, when they are replaced, you kill the next. I say we do it and then see how it goes. 4000 dead assholes is a small price to pay in war.
The problem is, they control the system… so you cannot use the system to beat them. The only thing left is deleting them from the system and restructuring it without their involvement.
The system that made them will still be there. And people surrounding them, while not billionaires themselves can take over and keep the machine going
The system can change once 4000 billionaires are gone. And if it doesn’t, keep lowering the bar.
For sure, but that’s not an overnight thing
Gotta start somewhere, as opposed to doing nothing
The SRs did this for nearly a century in czarist Russia and it didn’t bring them any closer to revolution. By the 1910s they made being a minister for the Czar a legitimately dangerous profession, if anything it made the regime more reactionary and made them beef up the police state.
A thing that didn’t work in the past doesn’t mean it won’t work in the future by learning from the mistakes of the past.
But go on, keep telling me how much you love billionaires, and capitalism.
the fact that we know there will be 4000 of them implies there is a list of them somewhere.
where is the list?
Forbes publishes a lost of the wealthiest 400 every year, can start there
It’s a great start. Though the truly wealthiest people on that list are mostly just the ones that are able to inflate their net worths with stocks. The wealthiest people in the world make sure much of their finances aren’t public
Better start subtracting before they multiply.
I have only these to offer. ()
Since we aren’t just printing enough extra money to cover this, guess where it’s coming from.
The kind of money that makes people billionaires doesn’t actually exist. It’s just a collection of “numba go up” scams.
Education, social services, healthcare aaaand you
If these people are so amazing to earn that much money, we should ship them all to mars and we’d have a thriving colony in a few years.
Trillionaire will be the new billionaire. Broke is still broke.
I have predicted through my life that one day I would be a millionaire but it would suck. So far it has not happened and now I think I won’t be a millionaire but being one will still suck its just being a thousandaire will suck more.
We gotta get those numbers down
In 1987, when Forbes started listing the world’s billionaires, there were 140 of them.
We need to at the very least thin the herd drastically.
Wait, does this mean we’ll eventually all be billionaires? Is my math right on this one?
Yes if the system stays the same then eventually, after enough inflation, we would all be billionaires (well, our descendants). In the same way everyone in Zimbabwe was a billionaire.
Yeah, but how many will still have heads?
So much wealth stored in so few people. Imagine how much money will be unlocked from each billionaire eaten. It will pay for healthcare, childcare, housing, education, and nice towns to enjoy it all in.
and how many thousandaires?
