    Assassinate the other billionaires. I genuinely believe billionaires are the source of all the biggest problems the planet has right now.

      Exactly what I came here to say. Hire a group, and tell them to start at the top of the Forbes list and work their way down. Send anonymous letters to media outlets that surrendering their wealth is the only way to save their lives.

      It would dramatically improve the quality of living on this planet within 3 months.

      Someone is simply going to take their place. The problem isn’t the billionaires themselves, its the system.

        We can do a lot more to change the system without a bunch of over-moneyed under-principled techbros trying to stop us.

          But if we do that today, what do we do tomorrow? When someone someone else takes that vacant CEO position and starts receiving that ludicrous salary, what then?

          If you killed every billionaire every month, they probably wouldn’t have time to seriously affect society, but then I suspect we’d have other problems. I have a feeling that would produce some negative outcomes for the economy and general quality of life.
