Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

The thing is: it would not collapse.
These billionaires and big CEOs think they hold up the heavens, but if the 1% would die off tomorrow (or get put in jail) not much would change.
Companies would work as they normally do, perhaps even better without egomaniacs controlling them for once. The real work happens much further down the chain if command.
Politicians would have to be replaced, but except for some early voting in some areas the impact would be quite small. There are rules for politicians leaving office before their term ends, or else every politician who died or gets convicted would be a major problem.
It's an excuse and a bad one, I'd say.
This is just some 'Atlas shrugged' nonsense.
