    Oh boo fucking hoo. I have zero empathy for these fucks making millions every year and grinding wage slaves into dust.

    The CEO’s who are making millions of dollars? I don’t think really do anything, so if they just didn’t show up to work for a month would it even be that noticeable?

    I mean, I’m not a CEO and I could do the same and have vacations days remaining. What you need is an union.

    I’d settle for a Trebuchet emoji, because I’m fine with flinging billionaires across the landscape at high speeds.

    Honestly, a lot more fun than a guillotine, imho. Think about the ragdolling as they tumble in the air.

    EDIT: Also, the longer the hangtime, the longer they have to think about the decisions that led them to people wanting to fling their body a few miles with a trebuchet. No forced self reflection with a guillotine.

      I’m imagining an event like the old school Punkin Chunkin, where people build elaborate devices to try and fling a pumpkin as far and as accurately as possible. Call it The Billionaire Fling and wherever the billionaires land is where they get buried.

      Have amusement rides, bounce houses, fair food, etc, and donate all proceeds to food banks and homeless shelters.

      I doubt they’d spend the hangtime thinking about their transgressions.

      It would more useful for other billionaires to see the hangtime and imagining that, as a deterrent.

      Yes this is a completely pedantic comment

      eat the rich fling the rich at high velocities

      Not quite as catchy, but that does sound amusing!

      While fun to think about, they probably end up at least knocked out if not dead before they even get released.

        Surely there’s a fine tuning that maximises air time while not rendering them unconscious for the trip.

      I mean… I came here to say that you can go after the guy for being a CEO, but taking a month off is not particularly controversial over here. If anything, when I talk to a US business owner, which I sometimes do, hearing about how they are constantly working is normally more of a red flag than the opposite.

          Anybody in the EU is rich when a lot of people can’t really afford to eat out once a month since they get paid barely above the absolute minimum to maintain a living while in Germany for example 2 families own more than half the population combined. Only because Paris is near and we get paid vacation doesn’t mean we actually have more money to enjoy life per se. And Paris is expensive.

      UK here (so not EU but this isn’t something that’s changed since we were) that’s not really true, most companies would raise an eyebrow if you want to take that much of your holiday in one go. Plus it would leave you working like an American for the rest of the year.

    We need a guillotine emoji.

    Sign the petition on change.org for a guillotine emoji. Bring some lumber and a large blade and lets get the party started.
