An #education about #SocialScience, #morality, and #HurricaneSeason could be #byproducts of this #experiment
And the #stuff they leave behind can be distributed among everyone else
I think #everyone could #benefit, here. ☺️

"[W]orking people know that private wealth is built on public infrastructure and public investments paid for by all of us — especially low-income folks who pay more than their share in taxes. The roads and the transportation system corporate executives use to get goods to market, the schools and universities that train their workers, and the regulation and safety systems they rely on build the wealth of the people who live and do business in our state."

Jeff Bezos is far, far wealthier than David Solomon (head of Goldman Sachs), Beyoncé, and Tim Cook combined. This graphical visualization really drives the point home. And yet "Jeff Bezos may be insanely rich, but it is a drop in the ocean compared to the combined wealth of his peers. The 400 richest Americans own about $3.2 trillion, which is more than the bottom 60% of Americans."

If you’re confused about the #debtceiling crisis, here’s a quick explanation.
#Trump exploded the #nationaldebt by 39%, adding over $7 trillion dollars, due in large part to big #taxcuts for the #ultrawealthy.
Now, #Republicans are blaming #Democrats for that debt.
Any questions?

It's probably a better solution than eating them.
