I love how Luigi has become a defacto symbol of the revolution. I can't imagine Nintendo being happy about it.

Compare the number of size S body bags used every time the cops gather to watch another “mentally troubled loner” to the average number of immediate family over 18 size of each billionaire, kids would have a trust fund guardian you’d rather capture than kill. All in all you’d probably expend a lot less ammo for more benefit going top down. Hypothetically of course.

Sure you can have the infinite money stone. All you have to do is make it past everyone who will suffer to power it, there’s a lot more of them than you and they are hungry

And I want my scalps!

Looks like 116 recorded school shooting related injuries this year so far. Hard to say how many of those were kids getting shot though

So, who here didn't know that there are several orders of magnitude more kids than there are billionaires?

lol

I'd like to think that if someone from the working class would randomly get such money they would. But it still seems unlikely.

Almost all big lottery winners are working class. Look at what they do with their winnings on average, you don't need to guess.

I haven't actually done the math, but by percentages I think they are probably fairly close.

Seriously. Their boardroom must be up in arms about it not being Mario.

I did it once, in person, and all it took was food every day for a few months. We all shared our food at lunch instead of keeping it to ourselves, and we all went away more full than we had before. (the reason is that we all got a larger variety of flavors than before, but that's not the point. The point is communism) Never out had to talk about leftism or politics either, people just sort of came around via eating.

I wonder what that particular scenario's Gini coëfficient versus Cumulative Assassinations plot looks like. Sounds like the plot for a new season of Death Note.

Yeah. Protip: Maybe instead of CEOs hit the global elites paying ‘em. Smaller job. Higher impact.

Killing CEOs nets you higher paid CEOs (they already effectively get hazard pay but that will increase if candidates see the role as existentially dangerous)

Killing the wealthiest underscores wealth as the true target.

Far more effective messaging, since many CEOs are nowhere near the 0.1 percent.

“Oh shit, the wealth itself makes me the target!”

Only short term solution for the wealthy individual/family is to pivot to philanthropy fast.

Only long term solution for the class itself is to stop the factory that creates them.

Its not hard to look up school shooting fatalities, but it would be depressing

In total, you'd only need four numbers:

The total number of school aged children
The number of school aged children who died due to violent crime
The total number of billionaires
The total number of billionaires who died due to violent crime

They will probably reference it in the next Mario movie.

Welp that sucked.

69 deaths in 2024 (323 school shootings in 1 year. More school shootings than school days. What are you doing there?)

And

400+ billionaires the poorest is 3.3B

So 2024 had 1 Billionare death, at this rate, we need 399 more years...

[email protected]

Rate could mean over time or percentage of. I think OP was thinking of time, in which case your wouldn't need the total number of schoolchildren. Just divide the population of billionaires by the number of schoolchildren that die by violent crime per year.

I agree with you, that would be a much more effective use of resources. It's a fantasy though, and it's way more fun for me to daydream about design than manipulating public policy.

I mean. There's no such thing as bad advertising, supposedly. I doubt this would violate that statement.
