    Going to need to pump up those 2500 numbers. You take out the first wave they will be quickly replaced with descendents and opportunists. Maybe after the second wave the guillotines can be retired.

    Billionaire hands down. No need to think about it. No moral dilemma here.

    The only stress would be making sure th trolley actually runs the billionaire over.

    For added bonus, I will even dress up like the traditional villain with the cape, top hat, and th twirly mustache.

      but think about all the smart innovation from those brilliant billionaire brain you’ll be missing out on! And with 1.3 billion American less, that would be a lot less of trump supporters

    Err, you actually can’t kill 1.3 billion average americans. There aren’t 1.3 billion Americans.

    Execute (lawfully and with due process!). Seize their assets. Use to transition to renewables. Enter golden age.

    Feel free to appoint me world dictator any time, shadowy lizardman cabal.

    why not both?

    Genocide is generally frowned upon outside of Israel supporters, Nazis, and tankies.

      Are Billionaires a cultural or ethnic group? Because if not it’s just sparkling mass murder…

            Not all Billionaires are American.

            “You can kill 2500 billionaires or 1.3 billion average Americans (ignoring that there are not 1.3 billion Americans to kill)”

            “Why not both?”

            “That would be genocide.”

              Ah, yes, wasn’t focused on that part. Pretty sure 1.3 billion would be most of both American continents.

                More than both American continents. North America is 595 million. South America is 430 million. You’re short about 275 million.

    You know, if there was a practical way to round up all billionares and remove them, I think I’d be for that. Not sure how one goes about it at this rate, though.
