    How much would it cost to construct a guillotine? I bet the ROI on that would be fucking astronomical.

      I could probably build it for $500. Less if it only needs to work once or twice and I can cut corners.

        Damn, looks like I forgot to sharpen the blade. Eh, just keep raising it and dropping it. It will get through eventually.

      $110 at harbor freight. Light and compact enough to bring it to any event. No power? No problem! For an additional $25 you can pick up a 20v cordless version. Variable-speed trigger and 6-speed dial provide adjustment for different applications. Additionally, you conveniently receive a complimentary 5 gallon bucket with purchase this weekend!

      It cost nothing because by then we’ve seized the means of production. I’ll be happy to build one with no labor cost. The benefits of its use are payment enough.

      Just save Elon for last and run the blade against a brick to dull it a little first.
