    Great, they can get multiple angles of the ravenous horde tearing him and his family apart like in dawn of the dead. Should make good tv.

    I once cast him as a random enemy vampire in an occult horror TTRPG. That was years ago, and he’s never once done anything that made me regret it.

    There are 3000 - 3400 billionaires globally… If anyone should be on their best behavior, it should be the group of people who together might fill out a mid sized cruiseliner. They are outnumbered 2.38 MILLION to 1.

    I say put them on said cruise liner and let the orcas at them.

      I just got back from voting against Steyer, the billionaire running for CA governor.

      Fuck them all. Anyone with close to a billion dollars is just a hoarder that doesn’t support their community enough.

      Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

      We could nuke every single one of them individually, and it would still be better for the environment than continuing to let them run rampant

      Cruise liner?

      Why not a raft?

      In the middle of the great garbage patch?

      You know, where they belong.
