    The only consolation is that a billionaire that stays up there has a high probability of exploding in a fiery death. It helps me sleep at night knowing that.

      Like that duche that imploded in the sea. News was freaking out, meanwhile I was like “nothing of value was lost”

        I’m not so sure about that, that kid didn’t want to be there. Everyone else thought, yeah.

          I think if you kill yourself and your offsprings, you’re still considered for the Darwin award.

      I think it’s wrong to want a fiery death, even for a billionaire. It’d be a tragedy no matter how you spin it. A completely boring unworthy death though? Even on a space hotel, is much more fitting.

        If there’s a point where apathy is worthy of death, is there a point where extreme apathy is worthy of an extreme death?

        Quite frankly, I don’t get wishing death on billionaires. Most people I see saying this are against the death penalty. So why are they seemingly for it when it’s billionaires? I want billionaires to not exist anymore, but the medium through which I want that to be achieved is by taking the vast, vast majority of their money and throwing them in jail for any wrongdoing they did to gain said money.
