If we’re workshopping names, Boil the Billionaire has nice alliteration.
“I’m Mark Summers and Welcome to…”
Live Audience: “BOIL!”
Live Audience: “THE!”
Live Audience: “BILLIONAIRE!”
Instead of drowning then in molten lead, we could force-feed them enriched uranium and call it Let Them Eat (Yellow) Cake.
If this makes a difference, they wouldn’t drown. They’d cook on top like eggs over easy.
Who Wants to Bury a Billionaire?
They don’t have money. They have debt and stock. Their money is a whole other tier of pretend that we’re too poor to have access to.
“we can monetize the fall of billionaires”
and if they run out of billionaires how about landlords next
Depends what you define as landlord.
Guy who owns 2-3 duplexes in the city? Nah.
Big time landlord who makes hundreds of thousands of dollars from thousands of properties? BOIL EM!!!
Exactly. I’m living in a triplex that sold for $1.4 million last year. My rent is less than 1/3 a 30 year mortgage (with a 3.5% down payment). My old landlord set the right price. I hope my new landlord does the same.
1.4 million for a triplex??? That’s like…40k where I live.
It’s a 1970’s build too. Other triplexes are selling for way more or just less than that individually.
But this is in Seattle.
the guy who owns 2-3 duplexes can (and are incentivised) to be as cruel and inhumane as possible by the same capitalist forces.
if you ask me, rent shouldn’t be a thing. once you paid the value of the house in rent you should be able to claim it as your own.
Based on that definition you never stop paying. Homes values constantly go up. My dad bought a house in the 1970s. 33k.
Today the house has a value of 300k. Took him 30 years to pay off the original mortgage.
part of the reason house prices are always on the up, is because they agree considered an investment not a basic necessity. so there’s no interest in building more.
a house shouldn’t cost more than construction cost.
Yeah. We give the guy who owns 2-3 duplexes the chance to work and return the years of labor he stole from others. His sins can be still be repaid.
But if he resist. Well…
Funny, I think there was an old fella with a beard that put them in the same category
Yeah but I think if we’re gonna give credit we gotta give it to the man that put it into action.
I’m in
That might not be the ideal choice of words in this case, but I like your enthusiasm!
“LET HER GO, JOKER!”
“Funny choice of words…HAHAHAHAHA!!!”

I still wouldn’t watch it, but I fully support the concept
No no no. You HAVE to watch, so the show gets good ratings. Otherwise it gets cancelled.
Don’t worry. I’d buy a shit ton of extra TVs so I could watch it from every angle and not miss a single second of it.
your loss, sounds like the only reality tv worth watching to me. fuck, I’d watch it on pay per view.
This is fantasy, I do not condone violence.
I want them to fight to the death in an arena. There’s about 800 of them in America. We could set up a tournament bracket, there are plenty for every city to get a live performance. If they refuse to fight, they’re both beheaded. The whole thing would be televised. Viewership would break world records. The champion gets life in prison.
It would start here, but like any good reality show, it would expand worldwide.
It would stay active, when two people are discovered to be in control of over a billion–because you know they won’t be able to resist, and they’ll do their best to hide it, thinking they’ll get away with it–they’ll be rounded up and paired off.
No joke, Hunger Games-ing the billionaire class might actually be enough to solve world hunger.

Wasn’t concrete bad for the environment? Just leave them there without pouring anything. More content and probably more entertaining as well.
Do you have and concrete proof?
and safer to use by the workers working backstage
I am sometimes saddened that “Authoritarian Good” doesn’t seem to exist.
I mean, it’s not hard to figure out values. Sure, some morons might think the good things you want are bad, but they’re MORONS we can ignore them.
“Oh no! Save the billionaires! What if we become wealthy one day?” No, you won’t. If you love them so much throw yourself in the pit with them.
What if we become wealthy one day?
What if you could just live comfortably for your entire life?
Aye, I could do that.
Can I be the guy that pours the lead?
I’d watch that.
We don’t need their money to pay for any of that, not providing them is an exclusively political choice.
The only justification needed to take their money is because them having it is an existential crisis for society.
It should be proportionally more expensive to remain rich.
Wait, building schools and hospitals with lead? Seems like a bad idea but let’s do it. Can’t be much worse than what they have planned for us
each billionaire is 3 seasons, and it is as over the top as ty Pennington: every applicant gets healthcare, housing, and a job.
