This! You have any idea how much people pay for boulders to landscape their yards? A small one about the size of a nightstand can cost 300+.
Can we just put them all in submarines and promise it will be different this time?
Yes, I suppose the boulder has some value as well.
It probably has some nice bouldering problems to try!
Ha, that was a V12+ joke!
I'm glad you could grip the meaning of my comment!
The boulder will still be cool under the sea. And also, under the sea that ceo finally has some real value. As food.

so does this mean y'all guys are finally coming around on utilitarianism?
That's completely inappropriate. That boulder could be turned into a statue.
IDK. I'm thinking more a giant bronze statue of Luigi would be more appropriate. Interesting enough, those things aren't as expensive as you might think. Some googling suggests a cost of between $25k-250k for a life sized bronze statue. That's a lot for an individual, but well within the realm of crowd funding. I say we place it on a main road outside UHC's headquarters in Minnesota. Make the bastards drive past it every single day on the way to work.

Can't we do this another way? That's a waste of a perfectly good rock.
Unfortunately the rock must be sacrificed for the good of us all. 😞
Tie them all together with a floating rope at the wrists to waists. They will eventually tire out, when they do they will sink themselves, once they have provided value to the fishes and other sea life then the rope will float back to the top and you can start all over with another group of valuable market leaders.
There's no shortage of rocks at our disposal. If it's the labor costs you're worried about, I suppose we could force the CEOs to quarry and carry their own rock.
What if we start killing board members instead of just CEOs, you know, the puppet masters along with the puppet.
While we are at it, also any billionaires to
There's no shortage of steel that I'm aware of, and chain production is entirely automated at this point. So why not?
This is my biggest frustration with these posts. We might not like it, but CEOs are still working class. Most of their wealth is derived from a paycheck. They aren't even the owning class. They're rich AF, but they're a symptom more than a problem.
You can't murder your way out of a situation you didn't murder yourself into.
Not with that attitude.

A drop of the guillotine is completely free. Just saying.
Sure. But it just doesn't have the same fire and brimstone "wrath of an angry God" feel to it. Guillotines are quick. But if you really hate someone, you'll go to the trouble of hauling an 800 lb boulder around just to off 'em. If you really want to show your displeasure with someone, you'll go to the trouble of loading a giant rock on a boat and hauling it an hour offshore. It's "I hate you so much I'm willing to go to this amount of effort!"
What about a really dull guillotine?
One that takes ten or fifteen drops to do any real damage?

Hey.... Boulders ain't cheap either.
I thought that this was gonna be a different joke, I'm not gonna lie.
Now I'm morbidly curious what joke you were thinking...
"It's an acceptable loss."
I guess this meme only applies to America?
In most European countries, you pay for your insurance by contributing a certain percentage of your wages to your insurance company and a retirement payout company. Of course, you don't have to bother with that, since your employer does this in most cases (if you're not a contractor). I think this is a better strategy than just paying from what you have.

Oh my god, that scene in the beginning of Amistad just flashed back in my head. I had completely blocked it for like 25+ years and now it is back, oh god, I feel sick.
Well, that's something I'll actually apologize for. This is meant to be a humorous vent, not PTSD inducing.

Why aren’t we seeing this type of energy towards politicians? They’re the ones making the laws that companies exploit.
You think politicians are the ones who write the laws? You wouldn't happen to be a CEO would you? If so, I do believe you yearn for the Sea...

Because in fine, it's the companies and lobbies that bribe them. You can have ethical politicians, but there are hardly any ethical CEOs/board members.

Everybody wants a rock to wind their CEOs around.
