Assassinate the other billionaires. I genuinely believe billionaires are the source of all the biggest problems the planet has right now.
Someone is simply going to take their place. The problem isn't the billionaires themselves, its the system.
We can do a lot more to change the system without a bunch of over-moneyed under-principled techbros trying to stop us.
But if we do that today, what do we do tomorrow? When someone someone else takes that vacant CEO position and starts receiving that ludicrous salary, what then?
If you killed every billionaire every month, they probably wouldn't have time to seriously affect society, but then I suspect we'd have other problems. I have a feeling that would produce some negative outcomes for the economy and general quality of life.
You're just worried about the loud ones who are usually loud because they aren't rich. Its the quiet really rich ones you need to worry about
Fair. The techbros are emblematic of the problem, but it extends far outside the tech industry.
No.
Peter Thiel isn’t quiet. Egghead man isn’t quiet.
