Sir/Madam, you have invented alchemy.
Lead and human waste goes in, gold comes out.
Bravo.

Why not skip the lead and double the human waste?
The secret ingredient to coax lead to transmute into gold is the horrific suffering of the wicked.
You gotta keep your ratios on point, and make sure the bile and phlogiston levels are all in balance as well.
I'm a much more humane individual. I think they should be allowed to 'purchase' a ladder before going in, with several different lengths being offered. However, the only one that's actually anywhere near long enough to let them escape the pit and the molten lead is the one that costs 99.99% of their wealth.
Call it a kind of ethical self-selection for those that place excessive, short-sighted value on their own holdings.
Who knew @PugJesus@lemmy.world moonlights as the dude from Saw?
It's a really easy "Everyone wins" scenario though, as long as you aren't someone who prefers obscene wealth to life. :)
I'm more of a fan of putting them in a big enclosure, and tell them the last one alive gets to keep their wealth, and then give dem a mix of weird weapons. At the end the plot twist is that they still die.
So battle royale but with rich cunts.
Should make for some good, family friendly, friday night enternainment.
then give dem a mix of weird weapons
Like medieval weird, Monty Python weird, or Salvador Dali weird?
I'd love for Mark Zuckerberg to kill Elon Musk with a rubber chicken only for George Soros to suffocate him with a molten clock, after which he in trampled by Bezos wielding two halves of a coconut 😁
Of course, Bezos would then be crushed under a mountain of "bathroom break alternatives" from his former employees.
We’d need a large dildo or two in there as well. As weapons that is.

I like the way you think. You're on the planning committee
George Carlin invented this 30+ years ago.
I'd rather see a good old fashioned tar and feathering.
Porque no los dos?
Eso suena bien.
Terrible idea. It doesn't have the irony angle.
We take all of their assets for welfare, operations costs, and the planetary deficit. Then we have an island that we drop them off on and they get to battle royale. The last one alive gets to be a millionaire but can't have a net worth greater than a million, they can't conduct business/work activities or invest in the stock or bond market, and they have to live in a studio apartment for the rest of their life.
The island is rigged with cameras and drones for subscribers to watch. The profits generated go towards operations and welfare.
When there are 10 left in the round, combat knives get dropped off for them.
Same thing for convicted murderers, rapists, and pedos on another island but the last one alive gets to recover before the next round. If they survive 10 rounds they get to decide between staying for another round until they don't want to anymore or they get to go to the 1% island and can win a million dollars if they survive.
Yes, it is just a way toharness murderers to kill off convicted rapists and pedos in order to find the deadliest murder and unleash them on the 1%.
Don't let me become King of Planet America.
...convicted murderers, rapists, and pedos...
Don't forget to include people who talk in the theater.
I'd let their fellow moviegoers sort them out, no need to waste resources on them unnecessarily.
Just borrowing a line from a favorite Book.
I think we should take their money before putting them in the pit of molten lead. They might try to take it into the pit with them.
Shark tank but instead of Billionaires sitting in chairs, they swin in actual shark tank with hungry sharks.
Blue shell the rich. Interestingly, you can turn steel blue with a little heat and some brass: https://youtu.be/1N45kwD6S8g
This is the “The Apprentice” spin-off the world needs.
No it should be more like a battle royal style (with the exception you also kill the last survivor but don't tell them this)
Might be a stupid question but who ist gonna buy their assets? Most of their Money ist gonna bei stocks and who has the money to buy out jeff bezos? Or does everyone just get a share of Amazon? Where is the money for schools coming from?
Amazon would get nationalized into the state. Then it could continue to operate with profits going into the general fund (and from there into public works and social programs)
Or it could be liquidied and all the proceeds would go into the general fund.
For this we'd need a lot of budget reform, especially after the OBBBA budget reconciliation bill.
But the premise of the meme is correct. The resistance needs to target specific officials (e.g. Steve Miller, the Federalist Society shills in SCOTUS — Leonard Leo while were at it.
(I'm assuming for this thought experiment assassination or guillotines in the city square are last resort options.)
The resistance needs to present a high plausible threat to all things they care about: their wealth and power, their family, their status and liberty.
Steve Miller will not take the resistance seriously unless he believes that by not doing so, he personally will lose everything, and be forced to watch it slip from his grasp. Same with Alito and Thomas. Trump's faculties may be too far gone to make such a deal, so we'll have to target those around him, who are making the decisions anyway.
This is how we can save the US, and we better have a solid skeleton constitution that establishes governing bodies and rights that are absolute.
