No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

No human being can own more than the average insurance value of a human life. Raise the average value of a human life if you want more money. That's my solution.
There isn't an insurance value, only values awarded and liability coverages.
The latter it based on risk profiles with some people having very high coverages.
The former is literally based on earnings and ages so it would need to be a median not average.
And a side effect you're going to run into is that by force this restriction you actually cap the punitive damages which in extreme cases can be well over 100 million so it ends up protecting billion dollar corporations which will continue to exist just spread among more investors.
Capitalists will find a way to exploit any solution you apply. Best way to think of capital is it is like gravity, it bends everything around it and pulls more towards itself.
Spreading the capital into a thin layer could work but will require continued and ever changing effort to prevent it from clumping.
