We need to have an international holiday every year where the richest person in the world is ritually thrown into a volcano. Good, healthy disincentivizer.

But maybe that’s not thinking big enough? Could be the 10 richest people, 100 richest, 1000 richest. Any more than that probably isn’t good for the poor volcano.
How about the richest, but it happens every month on either the full or the new moon... and special holidays (like Christmas and Easter) we throw 2 of the richest in the volcano... it's what Jesus would want
As someone who has no geological volcanic knowledge, I think volcanos are pretty hardy, and we should therefore test their endurance for eating billlionaires.
The Hunger Games, but the contestants are all billionaires. And the last survivor's prize is getting stripped of all wealth and having to live on SNAP for the rest of their lives.
Once you surpass some dollar amount of net worth you’re sacrificed on the spot. Like “congrats, you won capitalism, good luck doing it again in the next life” and we take their assets and ritualistically socialize them
I hearted your first post and then read the second and felt foolish for my short-sided heart…but then I realized you’re right! We DO need to dream bigger
You can't just solve all your problems by throwing billionaires into volcanoes!
Sadly even "active" volcanoes are mostly just mountains with a few hot rocks near the top. That magical moment where there's a flaming pit to toss someone in are very few and far between.
The Democrat platform: promises everything, delivers nothing, blames someone else, gets violent. 🤯. The Democrat Party is the party of intolerance, violence, & truly racist policies.
If you have more than $999,999,999.99 in total wealth (all assets if any sort + liquidity) in the first second of a new year, you get sacrificed to the volcano.
I think this type of human sacrifice could unite the world, and I’m dead serious. No one person should be allowed to accumulate the wealth of entire countries. That’s not conducive to remaining a functional society.
Maybe in case of ties we burn the richest person or people in the world, provided their tied net worth is above 10M each. So like if we eventually end up with 900 thousand people all tied with net worths of 9.9M the holiday gets changed so they just have to fund a pizza party for everyone on earth.
Why not send them into space aboard their own rockets? We could even let them think they are making history, being the first on Mars or Jupiter or whatever.
my vote is that we spend their money on making them the first test pilots for manned flights to uninhabitable planets and let these ~Brilliant Geniuses~ try to The Martian their way out of it
call it SpaceX: the Final Frontier. Let Elon Musk prove his mythological genius intellect, all of his supposed "engineering" & "programming" talent, that somehow has never once been apparent in any way, shape or form outside of investing money.
I was going to suggest it be based on how much they give back. After all, the billionaires family gets the money. The poor get nothing but brief entertainment.
Instead of the media trying to make presidential campaigns last a year, we could have 12 months of the richest, say, 100 people scrambling to offload wealth to spare their lives. What a bounty! Think of the media frenzy!
I think it was one of the Chapo dudes' dads who recommended that every US president is limited to a single 6-year term, and is summarily executed at the beginning of the next inauguration.

But also, we have to maintain a steady stream or we might get dangerously close to world peace; and we can’t have that

Now wildfires, or tornadoes...
Could start something big!!
Super simple.
