It would be neat if there was a site that doxxed ultra wealthy individuals so the one’s unhinged enough to kill could plan out a hit, unfortunately it wouldn’t be feasible due to individuals who aren’t in that category being exposed too and targeted.

Finding their addresses wouldn't be that hard I bet.

Edit: I just found out the CEO of the company I work for has a net worth of over a couple of billions of dollars... And this year I got a sub 2% raise. Fuck him.

Things driven by the same processes moving in the same direction as they do elsewhere those processes drive things. 🫠

Average worker wage is actually not a great metric for comparisons like this. It's better to use median wage because the ultra-rich skew the average higher. So basically the income inequality is likely much worse.
