Reality TV show idea

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!"

What about calling it "you can't do that on television" and ~~slime~~ boil them when they say "I do not recall" or similar while under oath
- I understood that reference. God, getting old sucks.
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.

But we get the lead back, right? Otherwise that's a bit of a waste.

I don't want billionaire poisoning in my lead.

Who Wants to Bury a Billionaire?

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!!!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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...

- It still staggers me how quickly some people's opinions on landlords changes when they see the money. A bunch of otherwise stand up fellas are now dreaming of using their retirement investments to 'buy some houses, rent them out for the passive income,' and another of the group who says his dream is to buy/own an apartment complex, all the while salivating at the money.
  Most of us are trying to play in a game we hate... where not playing means suffering. I don't really see just owning rental properties to be worthy of the billionaire boil. Hold them accountable for every scummy practice and ounce of harm caused by greed seeking, but not merely for renting housing out.
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.

Online liberals will joke about eating the rich but get mad when protesters block traffic. Online liberals will joke about "the guillotine" but argue that destruction of property counts as "violence".

Because blocking traffic doesnt hurt anyone except other lower class people forced to drive for their livelihood.
Lets protest the rich by punishing the poor. Next well protest the rich by licking their boots. They'll hate that for sure... Makes no sense.
- What's your opinion on strike action ?
- There will be a lot of blocked traffic if we ever bring back the guillotines. Just be honest and say you don't want to be inconvenienced.

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!!!!"
  Racheal falls from the ledge

Liberté! égalité! fraternité!

Leeja Miller notes historically wealth accumulated by the aristocratic elite is never restored back to the public (that is, back to the state general fund, then used to sponsor roads, bridges, libraries, food programs, education, science, etc. which serve the public good) except through violence, e.g. the response of the French public after the États Généraux de 1789 )

So this, along wirh discussions of the kind of reprisal Luigi Mangioni may not have done, all tracks, considering the escalating clime in the United States.

It'd sure be nice to find a nonviolent path to ~~restoring~~ creating public-serving government and a system that regards the personhood of absolutely everyone, but we very much cannot take violence off the table, especially when it comes to restoring wealth parity.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

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.
- We're killing all the billionaires, but line must still go up. There's no point in anything if line doesn't go up.
your loss, sounds like the only reality tv worth watching to me. fuck, I'd watch it on pay per view.

"we can monetize the fall of billionaires"

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.

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

Switched roles Squid Game

Make them run from the molten lead.

Call it: the running 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.

Stocks are assets are money.
The pretend we're collectively falling for is that you can't tax those assets because they're somehow not really there until they want them to be.

There's no real entertainment in this...

let them fight to the death... and then let the animals in... If you want to know how to entertain MAGA folks... check out the ancient romans!

Winner gets a dog park named after them, because they were eaten by wolves released into the pit after they defeated the other billionaires
- Sounds good!

And what do we do with ~~witches~~ billionaires

each billionaire is 3 seasons, and it is as over the top as ty Pennington: every applicant gets healthcare, housing, and a job.

Nothing but good to come out of that idea.

But is lead going to be bad for the groundwater?

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

at least you wont get radiation if a nuke hits.

I don't think building hospitals with billionaire filled lead is a good idea.

I’d watch that.

New band name, I call it

As long as my band can still be "Surprise Blueberry Buttsex"
Sorry. I forgot. My band name is Cheesy McSneezer and the Cheesy McSneezer 7".
It would be a big lounge style band, where the songs are all covers of popular songs of the time, except dung in a lounge band style. The songs would all be sung by one guy, with a distinctive voice.
But every live show, there would be a new reason why Cheesy McSneezer couldn't be there that night. So instead, please welcome a one night only replacement of (insert famous singer from other famous band).
Nobody would know what Cheesy looks like, or who he is, but every night the replacement is different, and every night the reason he can't be there is different.

Can I be the guy that pours the lead?

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.
