Time for guillotines.
You can behead the king or members of an aristocracy who’s source of wealth and power are stiuated in one coutry, but how do you want to manage that with a billionaire whose wealth is spread all over the world? He will just move to a friendlier country.
The class wars know no boundaries.

I doubt that he cares what the internet thinks. It’s called fuck-you money for a reason.

So… your saying… we should unleash Reddit and the chanz….

So? He is a biilionaire. What, besides his reputation among the rabble does he have to loose? Why should he care? Does he need to fear that you will boycot his companies? Not even a bloody revolution in the US could touch him. He will just move to another country.
Workers of the world will be part of the class war. He will have no where to hide.

That’s not specifically how it works. Rate hikes discourage M&A, Capex in general, and new business launches. Jobs aren’t necessarily lost.

Pot. Cattle. Black.
