This is an imaginary short story I wrote… I don't recommend ANYONE to try an act like the characters in this story:
There was a person named X.
X had no hope, and figured out prison will provide more consistent meals and shelter than any job heshe can have. X was smart too. Heshe knew that as long as more wealth is held by an ever decreasing amount of people (5% hold 70% of the wealth, and getting worse), things won't change… They'll actually worsen.
So instead of going to prison for theft or anything like that, X decided to go to jail for murder, but not just any murder, X decided to kill a billionaire. X also knew that a single person planning a murder will be much harder to get Intel on than a riot or revolution.
When X was caught, heshe said “no lawyer needed, I'll confess if you just let me speak with a reporter to explain why I did it”. After X's story got on the news, other people realized prison won't take much more freedom that they've already lost, and did the same thing.
Billionaires quickly realized they have 2 options:
-
Become “plain old millionaires” and stop treating their employees like slaves (give them a larger piece of the pie).
-
Keep being assholes, and give away their entire privacy to be guarded 247… Which makes their life actually worse than a millionaire.
