Most transformative two months the world would ever see
Nah, it would never happen.
We would end up with comprehensive gun control reform before we ran out of our precious billionaires.
So reduce their numbers and get gun control. What’s not to like?
win-win, you say
Well, kinda…due to inheritance, it’d kinda be like the Lernaean Hydra.
Isn’t there some depressing statistic about 2nd and 3rd generations losing most of the fortune or at least losing any control over it.
went take a chance? ammo maybe cheaper than eggs in the US these days.
There is, but it’s basically made up to support the notion that it’s very difficult to stay rich. It’s actually very rare for subsequent generations to lose inherited wealth, it just gets partitioned out so there are dozens or hundreds of rich people instead of one disgustingly wealthy individual.
Similar to lottery winners losing everything, it makes a much bigger headline when one loses everything despite it being incredibly uncommon.
We could handle this in minutes or let it drag on for years.
If billionaires got shot as often as school children, only billionaires would be allowed to have guns within a week …
“Think of the Children Gun Safety Reform Act”, a 1,000% tax on guns. Guns now cost about $10-100k each.
Mamma mia
Two month? I think in less than 2 weeks.
No you don’t understand they sacrifice dozens of kids every years to guns because they need guns to resist tyran- oh… NVM I guess.
Billionaires also have far better security than an off-duty or retired PO
