  Can we please prohibit billionaires now?

  When your net worth reaches, say 10-20 million, your income taxes should go to 100%. That’s it, no more money for you until you get “poorer”

    I prefer a prestige mode. Once you hit one billion you get all your money and assets stripped away and you start from square one again. But you get a cool star by your name for every time you reset and start again.

    It’s mandatory.

    So your choices are start donating a lot of money when you’re at 900 million or to hold it of or enjoy the cool star by your name and lift yourself up by you’re bootstraps once more.

      Whatever works, but not a billion, that is already way way too much.

      In a society with proper taxing like this, nobody can spend a billion dollars, not even 100 million. Cap it at 10 or 20 million tops

  Larry sucks at being an 80–year–old billionaire. Just buy cool stuff and chill out.

    Holy fuck, he’s 80?

    I guess I’m used to seeing old people who actually had to work for a living because he doesn’t look 80 to me at all. I hope he dies soon!

      His hair is like when you see a lawn that is blatantly astroturf.

      When I was a little kid I wrote a short story about how an owl and a t-rex were best friends but then the dinosaurs died out. In the story that’s why owls only say “who” - they’re asking who killed their friend.
