There's a different solution that can ensure billionaires will be on their best behavior.
Right, because billionaires will just fall over and concede - they won't have their government lapdogs impose draconian security and lockdown mentality on our whole society. Yes indeed, the action movie fantasy that makes you feel badass is a sure-fire winner.
That's literally what this guy is trying to do right now.
Yes it was sarcasm, although I'm not sure who you mean by "this guy".
It won't matter past a certain point what kind of tech they employ.
That's the spirit! Badassedness uber alles!
Zombies aren't real.
