Just put the cue in the rack dude.
Eh. I mean, he personally may be Satan incarnate, but I have no issue in general with geriatrics still having a love life. When my grandmother was in her late 80s / early 90s, she met a widower of the same age in the retirement village she was living in and seemingly developed a romantic relationship with him, and I think that's kind of lovely honestly. Wouldn't have had an issue if they'd made it formal, and I think the only people who were spooked by that prospect were my aunt and uncle, who were seemingly upset by the prospect of it affecting their inheritance payout.
Put all the billionaires on a luxury island, and let them enjoy their love lives and even their material wealth ( 3 or 4 million dollars each) for the rest of their insignificant lives.
Confiscate the rest of their wealth, make it available to the population of the rest of the world, and immediately solve the issues of world poverty, as well as gathering the necessary resources and international collaboration to address the existential issue of climate change.
No brainer.
By the way, credit to James P. Cannon for this idea.
The other problem with it is it wouldn't work anyway.
The uber rich have their wealth tied up in assets and shares, not cash. Plus, if you confiscated all the wealth of the top 100 people and divied it up across the world population, each person might get $200 and then what?
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
Maybe you would, I'd still think it short sighted. If you've liquidated all their assets, what happened to them? Does Amazon or Apple still exist? Who owns it now? The "people"?

As usual when it comes to these things, we're on opposite sides of the debate. I don't mind Amazon, they could be made to loosen the reign on the 18th century work practices of some of the staff, but otherwise OK.
Now you can get rid of Apple though.

Seems they managed to stop most of the traffic in time, though a handful of cars did fall in. (Probably helped that it was 1am). The six people who died seem to have been construction workers.
Apparently it was an accident caused by a power failure on the boat.

cops did amazing, just 90 sec to stop the traffic, and the cop at one end was going to go and pick up the construction workers but the back up didnt arrive in time to park across the lanes.
2 pulled alive from the water, im assuming cars that fell in. thank christ it wasnt peak hour.
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
