There's no shortage of steel that I'm aware of, and chain production is entirely automated at this point. So why not?

You can't murder your way out of a situation you didn't murder yourself into.

This is my biggest frustration with these posts. We might not like it, but CEOs are still working class. Most of their wealth is derived from a paycheck. They aren't even the owning class. They're rich AF, but they're a symptom more than a problem.

Sure. But it just doesn't have the same fire and brimstone "wrath of an angry God" feel to it. Guillotines are quick. But if you really hate someone, you'll go to the trouble of hauling an 800 lb boulder around just to off 'em. If you really want to show your displeasure with someone, you'll go to the trouble of loading a giant rock on a boat and hauling it an hour offshore. It's "I hate you so much I'm willing to go to this amount of effort!"

It's a very neat boulder.

Pioneers used to ride those babies for miles.

IDK. I'm thinking more a giant bronze statue of Luigi would be more appropriate. Interesting enough, those things aren't as expensive as you might think. Some googling suggests a cost of between $25k-250k for a life sized bronze statue. That's a lot for an individual, but well within the realm of crowd funding. I say we place it on a main road outside UHC's headquarters in Minnesota. Make the bastards drive past it every single day on the way to work.

This! You have any idea how much people pay for boulders to landscape their yards? A small one about the size of a nightstand can cost 300+.

Can we just put them all in submarines and promise it will be different this time?

But they're providing valuable nutrients to endangered sea critters, so it balances out from an environmental perspective.

In the Netherlands your pension fund is withheld from your wages (partially a mandatory government fund, partially a fund your employer might select).

My previous employer invested about 1% of my wages into the fund, which was quite shite. My current employer invests 10% and has a significantly better return.

Health insurance is a monthly cost you pay on your own (starting at around € 120 / mo). It's a € ~350 yearly deductible and coverage is mostly decided by the government. Any additional coverage is your own choosing and comes at a premium.

As you can only switch contracts on a yearly basis, comparing health plans is effectively a Christmas tradition for all Dutch citizens.

Because in fine, it's the companies and lobbies that bribe them. You can have ethical politicians, but there are hardly any ethical CEOs/board members.

You think politicians are the ones who write the laws? You wouldn't happen to be a CEO would you? If so, I do believe you yearn for the Sea...

Also rocks can be valuable too

Now I'm morbidly curious what joke you were thinking...

Tie them all together with a floating rope at the wrists to waists. They will eventually tire out, when they do they will sink themselves, once they have provided value to the fishes and other sea life then the rope will float back to the top and you can start all over with another group of valuable market leaders.

There's no shortage of rocks at our disposal. If it's the labor costs you're worried about, I suppose we could force the CEOs to quarry and carry their own rock.

The CEOs will be fully recycled by sea life. Steel is just iron and carbon, no real damage to the environment as they rust away. And boulders are inert. And we can make sure the CEOs are dressed in suits made of all natural fibers when we chuck 'em in the drink!
