It's a long time before we see any guillotines for the rich in my country at least (the US). We regularly put people down who have pennies to their name though or just average Joes living their lives. Death by cop and death by violence in a broken penal system. Also completely unavoidable health issues that increasingly only the wealthy end can afford to rectify. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago Yeah it is a different country for the wealthy here in the US. Pretty sure that is everywhere though. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago Look I get the frustration but I feel like trying to guillotine an entire damn car is more trouble than the catharsis would be worth permalink fedilink source parent
