A boring distopia is already even a single person having more than a single billion.

Yup, there was that post a while back, like you reach a billion, you get a plaque that says “congrats you won capitalism” and then they start at 0 again

Not even a billion, as soon as you’re in 8 figures you have more than a reasonable person can spend in a lifetime. Cap it at 50 million, every cent more goes towards public infrastructure and welfare

Or we could do away with capitalism entirely. Just saying

Capitalism does have some uses, like which TV you want to buy, but it needs to be heavily regulated.

I think we need to return to some of the old Pagan practices, like if you became King, you were sacrificed to the gods exactly 1 year later, and a new King took power. I propose that once you hit 1 billion, you are sacrificed to Mammon, to go live with him in the Great Bank In The Sky.

It’s inherently antisocial. You no longer have to play by the social contract with that kind of wealth/power.

It’s a grave failure with our economic system that billionaires have been permitted to come about
