@david Nah, I'd be content with beating their assets with sticks until the money comes out and can be redistributed. The punishment need not be corporeal — corporate punishment will do.

@HighlandLawyer I'm in with the beatings.

@david @HighlandLawyer I mean, I'd still want to do the beatings even if the piñata were empty. I just think it would be healthy all around if we ganged up and beat rich people.

@david Sticks? H'mm. Maybe for unusually broad (and heavy, bulky, spiky, etc) definition of "sticks".

@isocat a wooden baseball bat is also a “stick”.
