why not both?
Execute (lawfully and with due process!). Seize their assets. Use to transition to renewables. Enter golden age.
Feel free to appoint me world dictator any time, shadowy lizardman cabal.
why not both?
Genocide is generally frowned upon outside of Israel supporters, Nazis, and tankies.
Are Billionaires a cultural or ethnic group? Because if not it's just sparkling mass murder...
Americans are, I believe.
Not all Billionaires are American.
Not all Billionaires are American.
"You can kill 2500 billionaires or 1.3 billion average Americans (ignoring that there are not 1.3 billion Americans to kill)"
"Why not both?"
"That would be genocide."
Ah, yes, wasn't focused on that part. Pretty sure 1.3 billion would be most of both American continents.
More than both American continents. North America is 595 million. South America is 430 million. You're short about 275 million.
Some of us Americans are fat enough to qualify as two people. The math works out.
Airlines nod accordingly
Burn billionaires as fuel.
Feed them to the poor!
Haven't the poor suffered enough?
Err, you actually can't kill 1.3 billion average americans. There aren't 1.3 billion Americans.
Going to need to pump up those 2500 numbers. You take out the first wave they will be quickly replaced with descendents and opportunists. Maybe after the second wave the guillotines can be retired.
Anything worth doing is worth doing again.

You know, if there was a practical way to round up all billionares and remove them, I think I'd be for that. Not sure how one goes about it at this rate, though.
Billionaire hands down. No need to think about it. No moral dilemma here.
The only stress would be making sure th trolley actually runs the billionaire over.
For added bonus, I will even dress up like the traditional villain with the cape, top hat, and th twirly mustache.
but think about all the smart innovation from those brilliant billionaire brain you'll be missing out on! And with 1.3 billion American less, that would be a lot less of trump supporters
The one benefit of the Black Plague was that decimation of workers shifted power into the hands of workers as there was fewer of them. While eliminating 1.3 billion people would massively change the power dynamics. However, 1.3 billion gone would cause major society upheaval.
Removing one billionaire allows society to continue with minimal disruption.
Photo needs over 500,000 instead of 5 on the bottom track. Fake news. Uninstalled.
First, let's elevate the material conditions of 1.3 billion people to 'Average American' status, then we'll talk.
