Why stop at CEOs? The real power within corporations is the boards and investment groups - they decide who to hire into the executive, what their goals are and what their incentives to meet those goals will be.

Executives are the upper middle class, trying to get their retirement sorted. Around the same class as our politicians. Definitely culpable, but not the root cause.

Boards are stocked with the real nepo babies / Sith Lords. Well connected rich idiots who have nothing to offer the world other than than misdirected entitled rage and misanthropy.

Don't forget the politicians they buy.

Maybe we just make it asset tested. Everyone with a net worth > $5m gets the guillotine

Over $1B gets a golden pineapple. Roll a dice to select hole.

Turn it into a reality show where people can vote and we have ourselves a winner!

Boundaries like that don’t work, because, depending on the region, 5mio. could easily be your mom n pop shop or local doctor. Maybe we could tie it to certain tax indicators?

Careful how quickly they will turn on you.

Lotta people want to kick off French Revolution part 2 without knowing what happened to Robespierre.

"a French lawyer and statesman, widely recognized as one of the most influential and controversial figures of the French Revolution. Robespierre fervently campaigned for the voting rights of all men and their unimpeded admission to the National Guard.[1][2][3] Additionally, he advocated the right to petition, the right to bear arms in self-defence, and the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade.[4][5][6] He was a radical Jacobin leader who came to prominence as a member of the Committee of Public Safety, an administrative body of the First French Republic. His legacy has been heavily influenced by his actual or perceived participation in repression of the Revolution's opponents, but is notable for his progressive views for the time.

...

Robespierre faced growing disillusionment among others due in part to the politically-motivated violence advocated by the Montagnards. Increasingly, members of the Convention turned against him, and accusations piled up on 9 Thermidor. Robespierre was arrested and taken to a prison. Approximately 90 individuals, including Robespierre, were executed without trial in the following days"

Whoops we guillotined a bunch of famers because they had too many assets. /S

For real. I feel like the rich AND powerful are better selectors for who to point some blame for. They by definition have the influence needed to shape the current status quo.

Fair. How about we just start with the richest and work out way backwards until our bloodlust is satiated

Unfortunately I don't think many CEOs commute by motorway, so it will only be seen by other plebs

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 week ago

The plebs are the only ones that need to see it at this stage.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

It's not them we are speaking to.

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not to make them afraid itself, but rather by motivating the next shooter.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Now that is something this sign would still be good at

[–] hackerwacker@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure they do. How else would they get from A to B?

100% a North Face logo edit

[–] capital@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Is there significance to that? I haven't heard anything about North Face. Weird company/category to jump to after healthcare.

Board of directors are the real issue.

CEOs are just celebrity lackeys.

Chi town going hard
