All billionaires should be stripped of their wealth over 999 million and given to the rest of the world

Impossible to do both. If you kill them somebody just inherits.

And or course the concepts of money and ownership must be preserved.

Easy

Just hang them after their wealth is redistributed.

Keep killing till desired wealth distribution.

But make sure there's still money, and other fungible transferrable wealth!

Invest in NFTs?

$999m is still an obscene amount of money, and they'd just start finding ways to amass it again

[–] Dumhuvud@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

999M USD is still way too much wealth for a single person.

Ever played around with the maths of that?

If seeking a Robin Hood style remedy, may need tackle all the dormant pools of hoarded wealth, and all the squander.

It's fun maths to play with. If one is aware of at least a few of those pools. Especially banking, and suppressed access to resources (primary, technological, and more).

I don't even care what happens to the confiscated money; it could just *poof* out of existence and that'd be fine. What matters is that massive wealth inequality is objectively bad for society and must be reduced.
