Anyone else just feel like we should eat the rich?
I think it's way overdue.
On one hand, yes, on the other, eating shit isn't very appealing.
Won't stop the meat producing companies or the oil companies from existing - that just moves the emissions of them to their heirs.
That metric is really bad - as long as there's demand for gas or meat those emissions need to be attached to someone - and attaching them to the owner just takes away all responsibility from everyone and tells them that they don't have to change anything.
If BP would Stop producing oil tomorrow the price would probably jump but then other companies would step in and fill that gap and nothing would've changed pollution wise.
Envy and jealousy will get you nowhere in life. Strive to do better. Maybe join the upper classes through hard work and sacrifice?

Thanks for the suggestion I just became a billionaire
We already work and strife more than those upper classes ever would in their entire life.
How about those upper classes pay their due taxes instead of using loopholes to be a leach on society?
Either that or we eat them.
The wealthy do pay a lot of taxes. How about cutting spending instead? Oh…THAT. Never seems to come up though.
Curious also: are you really going to eat rich people? For dinner? Then what? Keep eating your way down until you reach the middle class? Envy and jealousy are a burden, my friend.
