If a billionaire is asking to be regulated, then it is long past time to do so. But under no circumstance should they ever be regulated in the way they want, or by the people they choose.

Really, if a billionaire [...], then it is long past time to regulate them.

@jenniferplusplus "I am a billionaire, please put some regulations in place". "Ok, buying and selling stocks on the stock market is forbidden. You're not a billionaire anymore" - "not like that!!!"

@jenniferplusplus Yes, and also I feel sort of like “if a billionaire […] and finally guillotine.” may resolve a significantly wider set of use-cases.

Though I admit, that could legitimately be considered a means of regulation, now that I think on it. It’s a tough call..

@cautionwip @jenniferplusplus people living under capitalism are already threatened with horrific violence for not contributing to the system, so horrific violence seems like a fantastic way to get billionaires to give up all their money
