        Holy cow and sacred broccoli.

        Kuru is a thing.

        Let’s not do that. Let’s put them to work. Proper work. Like plowing fields. By hand. Under the sun. From sun up to sun down.

          I know many hungry dogs that would be fine with it

          In fact, billionaire dog chow sounds like a great treat.

          Kuru happens when you eat brains, just don’t eat brains and you’ll be ok.

          I wouldn’t expect more value from their physical labor.

      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.

      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.

      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.
