    Actually you wouldn’t. Dead billionaires generally pass along their money, so one, or more, billionaires would take their place.

    Money doesn’t get distributed (unless the billionaire wanted this) to those in need.

      If there are three crows on a fence and I shoot one dead, there are zero crows left on the fence.

      It would get diluted between all parties. With enough rounds, there might not be any billionaires left

      Yeah, even if there was no inheritance and the property was taken by the state who would sell it to private entities, that extra money won’t necessarily be spent towards those “in need” and will likely instead be spent on army or foreign aid to Israel or some shit - the usual capitalist state stuff

        If we get enough force together to wipe out the billionaire donor class in 2 months, I’d be optimistic about our chances to affect how the money gets distributed afterwards. Otherwise, reload and go for round 2.

        If only the titan submersible was bigger. Dont worry, I’m sure there will be a third wreckage at that exact spot at some point.
