I didn't read the article but I did scan it and I saw this...
Oil and gas companies lobbied for the direct air capture money to be included in the law, arguing that the world could continue to burn fossil fuels if it had a way to clean up their planet-warming pollution.
a guillotine would be a lot cheaper
You say that, but when the federal government does an execution it ends up costing something like $2M.
The US has 612 billionaires so those prices work out to about the same.
choppy boi goes brrrrr
Most bourgeoisie do the same crimes, legal fees don't need to be duplicated much
And it probably wouldn't even work in the rain
IIRC a lot of that is the cost of the legal system and because they insist on using absolutely barbarous and ineffective methods. The guillotine is as fool-proof as it gets, and there will be no lengthy trials for billionaires.
All the prison contractors need to get their slice of the blood pie before anything can move forward
Which is why the people should do it 😌
600 billionaire for 1.2 billion dollars is a decent deal, since their imaginary capital (stocks, etc.) would mostly devalue but they do still have material holdings that can be taken.
