I’m by no means against deploying a sharp edge with guardrails, I just see guillotines taking many forms.

You could take their money at the same time as their heads, but I’d argue it more fitting for the experience of extraction to be drawn out.

This isn't about the symbolism. This is about the actual machines. I think they're cute. We're at least chopping up some watermelon even if we run out of billionaires.

Can’t cut watermelons efficiently with a firing squad but it sends the same message with less archaic violence. Guns r cute in the right context. Proof: https://share.google/J9Q8VLrWzVYv4DTqc

No this isn't a euphemism. I think they're cute and want one in my kitchen.
