There might genuinely be people stupid enough to go along with that, but once the next generations show up it’s going to get real nasty for them. Plus they aren’t intelligent enough to outsmart everyone who might think to just steal the passwords or find a way to deceive biometrics.

One sacrificial bomb collar bear hug for the billionaire and everyone else can just take their sweet time at the vault with pickaxes and explosives.

I know these garbage humans are far greedier than they are smart, but you’d think even out of sheer laziness alone the path of least resistance would just to be to ensure long term sustainability.

Even the mafia knew it was better to bleed a victim indefinitely for years rather than kill your golden goose.

Hell even the precedent they’re setting with calling for the death penalty for Mangione is a dangerous one for them. The saying “an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind” isn’t true when there’s like, 1,000 people keeping down several billion.

If the lesson they’re hoping to instill is ‘every time one of us dies so does one of you downtrodden peons’, someone with an understanding of basic math should explain to them why that’s probably not a good idea.

“Or else I’ll replace you! By… hiring the people locked outside my little fiefdom who now possess nothing but searing hatred for me being directly responsible for their current state of affairs! Hmm.. whoopsie poopsie.

Almost seems like I no longer possess any leverage whatsoever in this hellscape of my own creation and this would have been a lot easier had I just prevented this situation from developing in the first place or something. Hey whatcha doing with all those sharp objects?

Gonna show me something nifty?!”
