I would treat the Billionaires like Iran...control their access to nukes.
Somehow he must power his network state islands so he can leave us poors to die on the mainland.
Oh for fuck sake, what??
Drop a bunker buster on it!!
Oh yes, lets give the billionaires access to nukes, that sounds safe, I'm sure we can trust them.
I asked ChatGPT and it said this was fine. I asked Grok and it said this was based and cool.
enriched uranium is not a nuke by itself
Yet.
They already have them:
trump, putin, xi, the unholy trinity axis of evil
Netanyahu, although they refuse to acknowledge it.
Eventually, the writer for every 80s movie villain is going to get pissed and sue these billionaires for ripping off all his idea.
"I tried you warn you, but no, you took it as a challenge!"
I gotta get off of this planet.
Where’s my towel?
Hey hey monkey man, you keep that shit on Earth.
The probability of Zaphod showing up in this comment thread is roughly equivalent to a sperm whale suddenly being called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet.
I won’t be surprised when some of this uranium mysteriously goes missing and then no one is held accountable.
Billionaires with nukes, just what we need.
I smell a new RPG from Bethesda.
Maybe 45 minutes from there is a little reservoir based vacation area called ‘Kentucky dam village’ that was the location of a family reunion trip that is legendarily hellish in my family from 20 something years ago. Also the moment when my immediate family more or less cut off all contact with another part of the family.
Maybe you csn make amends over the next 10 years, then give the trip another go and all end up mutant zombies from the inevitable toxic waste spill.
Wtf I hate nuclear power now.
Because there's one more enrichment facility, this time ~~owned~~ backed by a shithead? Come on
Because there's zero chance a private company will not cut corners and poison the surrounding area for a few million years.
Someone should kill that guy.
I fucking hate this guy, but I don't want him to become a martyr. Somebody should dissolve his companies, take all his money and resources, and leave him penniless.
Martyr for what? You have to deeply stand for something very popular (amongst a group of people with beliefs) that is very unpopular with another group. Of all the people in the world, Peter is not running the risc of becoming a martyr - dead or alive.
I see this mistake as a comment more and more often. I'm not saying anything on him remaining alive or not; that's a completely different set of questions.
I just mean victimhood is usually the go to for far right assholes, and all assholes really. Especially the ultra wealthy ones who have the money and influence to spin the truth into whatever they want. Like you leave them no choice but to be even more evil the next time.
I could totally see whoever comes in his footsteps saying some shit like, "You saw what they did to Thiel. I had to crack down early on to protect myself."
They play the victim regardless.
True, they will always play the victim even as they're hurting and exploiting people they see as less than. Don't allow them to have any evidence of credibility.
I think his idea of hell would probably be having to lower himself to the standard of living most people would consider normal and comfortable. Having to learn to actually survive day to day if he were to find himself suddenly without a cent of the money he was born into and all future wages and earnings garnished to pay the people he has harmed, would probably be a fate worse than any hell he could imagine.
I know there's no justice and there is pretty much no chance of him ever facing any sort of proportional punishment or consequence for his actions. But, if I could make it happen, having to suddenly learn to survive with the rest of us mortals in the society he has helped create, in his late fifties, wondering how he will even afford something as basic as healthcare while his body rapidly ages from stress and gradually falls apart, after a lifetime of unimaginable privilege, unable to go anywhere or do anything he enjoys without being recognized and having people curse his name. That would be the fate I would wish on somebody like him.
