      It’s funny that we’re at the point where we have billionaires who aren’t even on the same order of magnitude as those approaching the trillionaore threshold.

      Imagine having 5 billion dollars to your name and some dude out there has 100 times that amount at 500 billion dollars.

    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
