It is probably harder to trick the next thousand richest people to go to their bunkers

Everybody who shows any hunger for power goes to the bunker.

If they all got thrown into a woodchipper publicly for crimes against humanity while the public cheered I guarantee you’d find people being more hesitant to exhibit the same behaviors and we should abolish the accumulation of wealth above a certain amount

That's why I gave up hope. I realized even if they got overthrown, and there was a power change, there would be just a surface-level change, with all the corrupt and sick shit, still happening underneath a democracy-flavored world.

Too big of a cost.

Tell them we have a ship, and once they all gather with a big fanfare, roll out the guillotine while fireworks go off.

Hitchhiker’s Guide kinda did the opposite, the ark was filled with all the people doing the menial, boring and 'unimportant' jobs and the other 2 arks died out because they didn't know how to get basic shit done... well actually it was an un-sanitized telephone but thats how I read the metaphor.

I'm pretty sure you've confused H2G2 with The Marching Martians
