I'm sure it's annoying for some to click offsite, but it's 20 panels long. IMO worth the read, though!
This is an attainable future, they say where there's a will there's a way
My friends always say "You can't just kill them. There will be someone to take their place." The obvious response is kill them too. Eventually, people will stop being so eager to take their place!
Though as the comic says, there's always going to be assholes. Limiting how much power they have would be great.
I am currently running a game of Vampire predicated on "what if you all just.. took out the ultra rich?". It has been satisfying.
Mmmm, cathartic.
I need a "+" after billionaires. Can't let Elon escape on a technicality.
"one day, like a miracle..." No, you need to make change happen the hard way.
I wouldnt tell anyone i got superpowers but there woild be signs
Idk what messed up religion y'all are trying to come up with now but we need to lock in and strike these mfers out of the country.
That would be nice but the pessimist in me know people would cap themselves at $900,000,000 and then gift millions of the interest they'd make to political mercenaries who will do their bidding as long as they're on payroll.
"Teachers were finally paid closer to their worth."
I dunno, I just think the phrasing "closer to their worth" is really funny when the picture being painted is a hopeful one. We can't actually hope that teachers will get a decent pay, even in a better world.
This was much better than expected.
"was it antifa" 😆
I'm a bit existentially confused by the anticapitalist webcomic being hosted on Shopify.
I love that even in this made up fantasy world (which is awesome btw), we're still only able to pay teachers "Close" to what they're worth.
Like, lol. Teachers are so fucked from a livable wage standpoint, that it would take 2 made up billionaire apocalypses to give them enough money to be paid what they're actually worth.
Instead of randomly exploding them, can we like shoot them into space?
Space billionaires.
Sounds pretty neat.

I'd prefer to stretch it out a bit: One every hour, starting with the "poorest" of them, climbing up the list every time.
Make the ones on top know that it will be their turn eventually. They cannot avoid it. They cannot cheat it.
They can donate everything they own to charities or whatever they want, and some will certainly try. But it's too late - The culling cannot be stopped.
That would certainly encourage the parasite class to actually DO beneficial things instead of hoarding, if they can't spend it on themselves.
You get to 1.9 million and you better start building housing and parks and shit.
But if not, you explode. And that's fine too.
I always imagine the scene from Kingsmen.
The wild thing is you could probably live off only 1 million invested at say 3 percent, a whole life.
Billions? That should be just unlawful.
Yeah, was not expecting to be bricked up so much today. You can't just post stuff like that anywhere.
Now I'm going to be thinking about this all day.
A wealthy heir creates a special trust that gives a billion dollars to anyone they write in a notebook, allowing them to have their very own Death Note.
