I guess it’s 2699 now
Killing 2700 doesnt save the planet, thats the problem. For some reason complex solutions like tax and election finance reform are so far beyond the average person’s intellectual capacity that they fall back on Unga Bunga big stick.
With the 2700 owning all of the avenues to tax and election reform, seems like it’s not likely that’s going to be easier than the old unga bunga.
What do you think happens to companies when a CEO dies suddenly- from murder or from another cause?
Because the answer is not that the company folds or that it suddenly puts people over profits. The answer is the company finds a new CEO who puts profit over people.
There is no shortage of people with MBAs.
Do you think there are just 2700 CEOs and that that’s what that number refers to?
But to answer your question, perhaps at some point the CEO taking over for the murdered one thinks deeper about business practices. Maybe even the merit of killing people for profit with your business practices is taught in MBA programs alongside the possibility or in some happy world likelihood of being punished accordingly for doing so.
But killing 2700 doesn’t take away their avenues. It just makes 2700 more who are more defensive and hostile.
To put this into perspective, the Trump Admin has a combined networth of a MINIMUM of $540 Bn USD, and more than 50% voted for them. Do you understand? This isn’t us versus 2700 people. It’s us versus the majority of people.
There is no “Easy Way.”
Yep, I sure do understand humanity is fucked. Here’s hoping at least that majority gets bird flu.
Although I’m very anti billionaire, I would put capitalism there.
If suddenly all the billionaires magically disappear, the world will get morally lighter sure but in a decade you’ll have new ones.
I just explained this to someone who claimed killing the UHC CEO was “self-defense” for all the people suffering from all the wrongs he was responsible for at UHC. As if CEOs aren’t easily replaceable and as if the new CEO would significantly change things.
Yeah, the guy might have done it to get revenge, but if it was self-defense, it was the worst attempt at self-defense ever.
I don’t know how you figured out that I am very much definitely a cop for sure, but you’ve ruined 38 years of hard police work!
Bingo. There aren’t simply a handful of uniquely shitty people who just happen to be uber rich and when they’re gone all will be fixed. When our economic and political systems enable and encourage the existence of such people, another one will always fill the void until we reform or replace the root cause.
If we get rid of all the billionaires, everyone will stop using gas vehicles and fossil fuel electricity.
