I think we need to allow the wealthy to have pistol duels like in the past. Also they must be to the death. At least we will be rid of one problem regardless each time...

In the past, the aggrieved party got to choose pistols or swords. And I'm thinking swords would be much more fun to watch. I'd pay good money to watch those two bozos flailing at each other with cutlasses.

I would pay thousands to watch someone swordfight taint maid Trump to the death

Musk can even bring his own sword.

[-] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I give that the following odds:
33%: Musks sword explodes, Trump wins
33%: Musks sword works, Musk wins
33%: Musks sword works amazingly but explodes right (or during) killing Trump, everybody wins.

As funny as that is, I still would like to see their hands quiver as they take aim at one another...

Nope, a second was someone who looked over the other guy. THEY have to do it.

I think it would be really amusing to watch them shit themselves in fear live as they miss by a mile and have to reload in order to get the other. Comedy gold.

Now that's an alternative motive for one to get rich. "Why do you think you would be a good fit for this company."

"I really want to grow my investment portfolio so I can fall into the wealthy category to achieve my dreams"
