      Not if he dies a horrific public death before that happens. I definitely wouldn’t wish death on anyone. Not a gruesome death like that. What, with his genitals smashed, his guts removed, and his eyes skewered by hot pokers all while he’s alive screaming in agony as the world watches. It would be horrible to wish that one someone, and we shouldn’t.

    Only options are to ban money from making money, or eliminate the need for money
