I take it that the collective noun for billionaires is "plague".

I take it that the collective noun for billionaires is "plague".

[david@cosocial.ca]

@jtonline I am thinking about using “extinction”.

[oxyhyxo@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@jtonline or "clusterfuck"

[hielseitan@mastodon.social]

@jtonline I call them and their compradors in government the parasite class.

[drgecko@mastodon.social]

@jtonline 144 of them is inarguably a 'gross'.

[hoare_spitall@mastodon.world]

@jtonline I think a more apt one is the one we use for Crows, ie a Murder, which I find very sad as Crows are very intelligent and capable birds, unlike tech billionaires.

[petealexharris@mastodon.scot]

@hoare_spitall @jtonline
A social murder of billionaires.

[etchedpixels@mastodon.social]

@jtonline Nope. Plagues inflect other people with whatever they carry. Billionaires are inverse-plagues 8)

[dshan@mastodon.au]

@jtonline I thought that was lawyers?

[pdmckone@mstdn.ca]

@jtonline

A hoard of billionaires

[rhinosworryme@climatejustice.social]

@jtonline

An "excess" of billionaires.

Interestingly, it's also the noun for a single billionaire.

[kyonshi@dice.camp]

@jtonline "waste"?

[aulapublica@mastodon.social]

@jtonline or maybe cancer.

[nicelymanifest@mastodon.social]

@jtonline 'Cancer' maybe.

Vile concept to have millionaires let alone billionaires when half the planet are in poverty.

[clintruin@mastodon.social]

@etchedpixels @jtonline
I lean toward 'INFESTATION'.

[wellsitegeo@masto.ai]

@jtonline
Plagues spread - it is in their nature ; it is how they "work". It is an unavoidable part of being a plague.

Billionaires do not want other people to become billionaires. They want all that money for themselves.

[craignicol@glasgow.social]

@jtonline @Binder A malignancy

[sjcooke66@mastodon.social]

@clintruin @etchedpixels @jtonline With you there, except I would go further and suggest 'infection'.

[etchedpixels@mastodon.social]

@sjcooke66 @clintruin @jtonline I think if the US explodes then the collective noun is rapidly going to become "a target rich environment of billionaires"

[sjcooke66@mastodon.social]

@etchedpixels @clintruin @jtonline See where you're going with that but by the time you've said it, they might have scarpered?
