Are you kidding me? Green billionaires have not a fraction of the hold. Look what happened after a health insurance CEO's death!

Much improved.

    Agreed but I don't think terrorism is the way. If anything, it's temporary.

    And "much" didn't improve. Much would have improved if the economy was redistributed.

    And just how do you intend to do that? I do have an alternate plan, but I would love to hear this.

    We can start by removing the right to vote from Trump voters. Anyone who chooses the leader of the global economy so irresponsibly doesn't deserve democracy.

    That's some trolley problem you've got worked out there...

    Leave the switch and the world suffers.

    Switch to track two and like 100 billionaires die.

    Switch to track three and we remove basic rights from half the common people who are the most susceptible to the psychological warfare enacted by all the people on track two.

    People that support billionaires are morons, but we still should punish the trickster and not the tricked.

    UHC is still denying claims. There was a temporary uptick in approvals until the interim CEO was inevitably replaced by someone who has the "shareholder's priorities" in mind.

    The whole system needs to change. Cutting fingers off of the dragon one-by-one is not much of a plan.

    Do you really want to rely on fear to have that happen? Or do you want a system where people wouldn't have to suffer that way?

    In what world is it easier to kill all billionaires than to redistribute the economy? And keep in mind how often this would have to happen for your fear based system to remain in place.

    Do you really think people will stop increasing their net worth forever if you kill all current billionaires once?

    Do you really think we should let that happen do you think we shouldn't ever put out fires just because other flammable stuff exists you're really stretching to justify doing nothing

    Making stuff non flammable is a better solution that putting out constant fires
