Imagine this would happen and all billionaires are gone. In which world would we live?
A much better one.
That's implied. How will the world change? Who prevents the second line in command from grabbing power? How will regular people spend their time?
There would be far less money hoarded, which means more in circulation and a more robust economy. And if the "second line in command" starts hoarding, they can go in the shark tank too.
How do you envision the mre robust economy?
Hoarding on its own shouldn't be a problem with fiat currencies. The Fed keeps interest rates low until there is some inflation.
If billionaires keep money in a bank, the bank lents that money to those who spend it.
If money should be spent more wisely, everybody could spend their income each month more wisely.
So, what exactly do you want the billionaires to do?
Get eaten by sharks.
Nuff said. It's like they didn't see the post in the first place. 🤦
I think you're nuts. Killing the rich isn't going to make your life better because someone will always replace them. You will never see a cent of wealth that way unless you remove a lot more than just "the rich".
Anyone who replaces them can go in the shark tank too. Then we take all of their money and start giving everyone a universal basic income.
Replacing capitalism with a different system would be much better then just killing whoever gets rich next.
¿Por que no los dos?
Because in an ideal society there would be no need to hoard wealth.
Sure, but we have to do something with the people who did hoard wealth at the expense of the rest of us. That can't be forgiven.
The issue isn't that rich people exist they are hoarding and I've seen him out of wealth, causing Millennials and gen Z to have a lower quality of life than their parents
At this point, we have the series syndicated, and we play it on PBS as an educational reminder of what happens when you don't share.
Yes I know cable is dead...
