    My friends always say “You can’t just kill them. There will be someone to take their place.” The obvious response is kill them too. Eventually, people will stop being so eager to take their place!

    Though as the comic says, there’s always going to be assholes. Limiting how much power they have would be great.

    I am currently running a game of Vampire predicated on “what if you all just… took out the ultra rich?”. It has been satisfying.

      If it follows set theory, then all trillionaires are billionaires. Math got your back!

    “one day, like a miracle…” No, you need to make change happen the hard way.

      One of the purposes of science fiction and fantasy is to allow us to imagine a different world, without necessarily knowing how get there from here. In this case, we’re imagining a post-billionaire world without worrying about how to get there from here.

      If that world seems better than the one we have now, we could decide to put a long, difficult plan in place to get to that world.
