Not to be disrespectful to Japan, but it's like the dropping of the atom bombs in WW2: the first one sends the message that we have the power to do it, the second sends the message that we're not afraid to keep doing it

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago

We eat the top 3 billionaires each year, redistribute their wealth, and watch them all climb over each other for the #4 spot

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 14 points 6 days ago

All they have to do is give away enough to not be billionaires anymore. Seems more than fair.

[-] athatet@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago

I like this. The Hungry Games.

Luigi shot one, they only upped their security. We must not stop at one.

[-] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 34 points 6 days ago

Brian Thompson only had a net worth of $43m when he died.

That is mere pocket change to the actual Billionaire class, where the three most wealthy individuals on this planet each extract $40m+ of interest on their net worth PER DAY.

[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 13 points 6 days ago

Damn, imagine if people actually kidnapped Elon Musk and ate it live

[-] DakRalter 11 points 6 days ago

They'd get sick from food poisoning and ketamine overdose.

[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 7 points 6 days ago

Also, is erectile disfunction contagious?

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 14 points 6 days ago

Well first of all he's entirely innocent. So jot that down.

But if someone like Luigi had killed that CEO, that still wouldn't be the same as a billionaire.

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago

We didn't eat him. I really think it's the cannibalism that sends the message.

That one wasn't eaten.

CEOs aren't often billionaires, they 100% do the whipping for them though

Real shame we couldn't get everybody to agree that a person is entitled to a bounty. Like take out a Billionaire, and you're entitled to take like 2 million for every billion they were worth, and the rest is redistributed.

I mean just putting the idea out there, and making them think even their secretary or cook might be thinking that 2m+ is looking pretty tasty. They'd live looking over their shoulders their whole life. Could literally be anybody, at anytime, including one of their guards.

[-] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 6 days ago

Every year we wicker man the wealthiest person and their wealth gets used for social programs until poverty (i.e. food water shelter medical insecurities) is eliminated.

[-] swiftywizard@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 days ago

Billionaire Royale.

One enters the danger zone at X dollar. They make money with speculation and interest, so they have to donate / get rid of it before the countdown stops.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 6 points 6 days ago

Floating wealth cap. The richest person in the country is responsible for everyone's health care. When their wealth is depleted to #2's level, #2 starts sharing the load.

Keep adding social programs until everyone is down to #1000's level.

I want to try some, are we going with a stew, spit-roast, stir-fry, braised, confit, steamed, ceviche, schnitzel, kebab or tandoori?

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 16 points 6 days ago

I'd make a joke about spit-roasting Peter Theil but I don't want him to sic Hulk Hogan on me.

Fortunately, Hulk is dead. But now I forgot the joke.

[-] RustyShackleford@piefed.social 9 points 6 days ago

Feel free to add or edit it if you come up with it.

[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 18 points 6 days ago

Don’t eat shit, mulch the rich. Much more entertainment potential, and more hygienic.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

And we get to learn about proper wood chipper safety!

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 points 6 days ago

Once you pop, you can't stop.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

We don’t need to eat them, we need to chop them.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yeah, I usually chop my food before cooking. Did you think we were gonna just gnaw all the meat off their bones or smth?

One every year until they cease to exist as a concept.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Jest aside i have often considered a concept where the richest person in the world has half their wealth liquidated and distributed in equal share among the 25% poorest.

We then repeat this process again and again as needed.

Agreed, im a vegetarian but I’ll take a bite of the billionaire just to prove a point.

[-] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 6 days ago

I've long argued that billionaire flesh is vegan because there is a net negative of suffering when they're consumed.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Nonono.

Don’t eat junk food!

Compost and eat the veggies!

As in literally eat one? Ew, I don't want to get billionaire cooties

Can we do something else instead?

[-] DixieNornus@piefed.social 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Gross have you seen them? Imagin eating a musk burger..vomit. I'd rather the rat burger from Demolition man.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 days ago

Sacrifices have to be made for a better world

[-] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

[-] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago
