"The five richest men’s worth has skyrocketed by 114% since 2020"

Wow.

It's testament to billionaire ownership that there's no question on the poll about guillotines.

I don't think guillotines are a good or desirable solution, but I think our five richest men becoming aware that it's a big real option on the path they're currently on is a part of the solution.
