    Also, only about 28,000 hundred-million-plus-inaires on Earth.

    For perspective, significantly more Palestinians have already been casually genocided by our bestie trade partner in that current conflict.

    The blight upon our civilization of billions is not that large.

    I’m not even suggesting they be adjusted, because I’m not a sociopath like they are. Use an economic guillotine, confiscate their exploitation gotten hoards for the commons(yes nationalize essential industries like utilities and Healthcare so they’re owned by society), reshape the economy to stop rewarding speculative gambling with exploitation gotten chips over honest labor and vocations like teachers that keep civilization running, obviously institute a maximum wealth cap as other people live in this society going forward to prevent recurrance, bring their ego scores to zero for their murderous greed, let them keep $20 and give each of them a set of literal, cheap bootstraps, and let them get a real job.

    Bar them from forming any kind of corporate entities or investing in anything other than a standard savings account for life, just as people convicted of computer crimes are sometimes barred from operating computers as they’ve proven they’re a danger to others with them.

    I’d be shocked if half of them didn’t take themselves out of the equation suddenly being subject to the same reality as their current livestock.

      let them keep $20 and give each of them a set of literal, *cheap* bootstraps, and let them get a *real job.*

      Lettem keep hundreds of millions and all the non-lizards amongst them shouldn’t have realistic reasons to complain, plus society still benefits most hugely and you can still win capitalism (so they can’t argue completely any “necessary incentive” argument).

      A lot of readers here are unimaginably wealthy compared to destitute villagers around the world, but we still prefer to have some nice things and only donate of our wealth. I’m fine extending that philosophy to anyone.

      (In Burundi, the average earner won’t make $1000 this year.)
