I dunno, if it was used as a form of execution, nigh-instantaneous implosion is probably quite the spectacle. Like the Guillitone itself, it'd strikes a solid balance between effective and crowd-pleasing.

The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.
killing's too good for them. someone needs to clean up radiation, coal plants, asbestos management, etc. 3,000 should last a generation or so, living on gruel and sleeping in prison cells

Meet Andrew Sandler. He has one of the largest privately owned reef aquariums in his living room in the world at 17,000 gallons. It cost millions of dollars to build and thousands of dollars a month just to clean and maintain. How can he afford this? Well Andrew Sandler is a hedge fund manager.

I love aquariums, I have a freshwater and mixed reef set up at home, and if you watch Sandler's videos its obvious that this is his true passion and his hedge fund is basically a silly little side hustle to fund doing what he really loves. It's kind of refreshing to see a billionare actually have an interest in something useful that's not just racking up higher numbers in his bank account score.

I'm not saying he should avoid the guillotine, but I think if the revolution comes it would be a better use of resources to allow him to be a custodian for his aquarium, that would be opened up to the public at no charge.

NGL, I can understand the appeal of posting while on a yacht. The sound/smell of the ocean, while you browse the internet in a luxurious boat.

Or even better, posting in the movie theater. Just sitting in front of the screen with a keyboard on my lap, reading the forums on the theater screen.

Are the yachts third-rate, or is the documentary third-rate? Or both?

Sasha Baron Cohen talks to a superyacht salesman in his "Who is America" show. One of his characters is a super-rich rear end in a top hat, and he strongly implies to the salesman that he is a straw buyer for Bashir al-Assad ("I can't say who I'm buying this for, but he would be very, ah, sád if they did not get this yacht"). He gets into what kind of add-ons he can get, and the superyacht salesman cheerfully agrees that a secret human-smuggling compartment with chains on the walls is something he could arrange for the hold.

Just enforcing the right of the property owner to control who congregates on their land. Not my fault. If I didn't do it, someone else would, etc., etc.

Note that it's a public library, so the "property owner" is the taxpayers.
