But once you pop, you just can't stop.

I don't know. I hear they're pretty rich.

I keep telling yas, them damn oligarchs have way too much gristle!

Gotta trim the fat you know

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 28 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I like this. The Hungry Games.

We eat the top 10 at least. Any less and the message won't be clear.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

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

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 34 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 7 points 2 weeks ago

Also, is erectile disfunction contagious?

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (5 children)

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

that's the point, it can't be just one. has to be at least two or three.

After the first one they did get scared like you said. Even the health insurance companies got a bit scared and for a brief time they started "doing good". briefly. then they waited. no one else got whacked. so it was back to the "norm".

You gotta cull a few of them in order for things to change.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 6 points 2 weeks ago

That one wasn't eaten.

Definitely Musk being a top contender for billionaire stew.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Can't we eat one that actually looks like they might taste good, tho? 😩

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Hunger is the best spice and the people are very hungry.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

None of them do though.

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 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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.

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

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

And we get to learn about proper wood chipper safety!

[–] ViceroTempus@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

[–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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.

Why do we want the rest to fall in line? Why not just eat them all, and prevent the next billionaire from ever existing in the first place?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

"fall in line" here means redistribute their unearned wealth

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

We need to set an example that will resonate throughout history. So, we eat them all.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] counterfactual@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ew. Prions. Just drown them.
