Have we just considered that once a person's net worth is greater than the GDP of a small nation, the natural response should just be firing them into the sun, as a warning to others?
@kofeyh how small a nation are we talking? Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Brunei, Kenya?

@jpm We can start somewhere decent and work our way down to a sensible value, a few dozen billion and into the sun, friendo, off you go. See how that goes. Perhaps work our way down to a billion or so, maybe even a few dozen million?

I'm sure we can find a happy median and optimise delivery into the sun.

@kofeyh @jpm I think we work on the more than 10 B is worth firing off into the sun...

Pretty quickly a lot of them will be learning how to give away money..

@stufromoz @jpm How I learned to love trickle down economics and stopped fearing being shot into the sun.
@kofeyh I prefer the idea of a yearly sacrifice of the richest 1%. It would encourage wealth distribution lest you end up in that 1% as well as removing 1% of the problem each year.
@kofeyh I love this stuff, but it’s so impractical. How about we simply throw them into a volcano? Maybe while chanting.
@kofeyh Or gently lowering them to the Titanic, the official Too Rich To Exist resting place.
@kofeyh or, y’know, we could just bring back progressive taxation, like we used to have before the early 1980s
