    QOTD: "I think, every year, the richest person in the world should be sacrificed and their wealth distributed to the poorest among us. The rest of the year would be billionaires scrambling to distribute their wealth in an attempt to ensure they aren't the one to pushed out into the ocean next year. Is that radical enough for you?" --@genxkiwi66

            @CdnCurmudgeon I think of something even more radical: putting them at the lowest poor level of their country.
            That should incentive the richest to never leave too much behind the poorest.

                Or they could work at regular wage at fast food counter alternate weeks and unblocking toilets the other weeks.
                Live in a dorm and only have one leisure outfit and one work outfit.

                Absolutely all assets removed. Children to good foster care. If partner non-working, then they are living at a refuge till they get a job.

                Your idea and the number of rich people it should apply to monthly or annually should be seriously debated.

                Which millionaire, or more, is achieved honestly?

                        It would still take about 70yrs to get rid of them all that way.

                          @CdnCurmudgeon Every time I see something like this, I remember that Taylor Swift is a billionaire. Who gets to decide who is evil and who is not? We need a better metric, like how well compensated are their employees. Swift is generous. Bezos is a monster.

                            @CdnCurmudgeon @blogdiva Potlatch: the wealthiest person intentionally distributes all they own to the community and lives off of handouts and gratitude. Not a new thing. No loss of life.

                              @CdnCurmudgeon My thought was to assign anyone exceeding a consensus derived wealth sum would be given some long languishing public works project. Basically following the 'idle hands' principle. "idle wealth".

                                This will never happen because all the major media outlets are owned by billionaires. All your neighbors and people around you, when you suggest this plan, will knowingly tell you that this is socialism, or communism. People who have never taken a political science class, but are well educated at the school of Fox News, Facebook, Twitter, Washington Post ... etc.

                                  @CdnCurmudgeon I think taking all their money and distribute it to the poorest (in a way they would get among the poorest) is probably a good enough punishment. They would also be motivated to increase the “poorest” level in case they would end up there.

                                      @CdnCurmudgeon Okay, so in this scenario, we off Musk, and the poorest billion people get two shares each of Tesla, the cesspool formerly known as Twitter, and SpaceX. What are they supposed to do with them?

                                        QOTD: "I think, every year, the richest person in the world should be sacrificed and their wealth distributed to the poorest among us. The rest of the year would be billionaires scrambling to distribute their wealth in an attempt to ensure they aren't the one to pushed out into the ocean next year. Is that radical enough for you?" --@genxkiwi66
