As in literally eat one? Ew, I don't want to get billionaire cooties

Can we do something else instead?

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

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

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

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 1 week ago

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

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 1 week ago (7 children)

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

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

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

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

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

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 7 points 1 week ago

Also, is erectile disfunction contagious?

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week 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 1 week ago (5 children)

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

Definitely Musk being a top contender for billionaire stew.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week 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 16 points 1 week 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.

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

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.

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 1 week 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.

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.

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

And we get to learn about proper wood chipper safety!

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

Only way to do that is through taxes and a world wide wealth cap.

Anyone worth a million dollars has all their next income 100% go to taxes until their worth goes below

Nobody should be able to just gather unlimited resources

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

"fall in line" here means redistribute their unearned wealth

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

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

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 10 points 1 week 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 12 points 1 week 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 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ew. Prions. Just drown them.

Eat all of them.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Sorry but nah, it'll take way more than one.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nonono.

Don’t eat junk food!

Compost and eat the veggies!
