I would think twice before participating in such a thing. (I'm not saying this is the only reason for something like this not being likely, it's not even the primary reason, but do I think it is a point that's worth noting...) | |

| Apr 9, 2019 at 8:44 | comment | added | JJJ♦ | I think the point of the question is that after those 1000 gain power, they will reduce the checks and balances so the real power lies with a select small group. Then maintain loyalty and kick the others out, straight from the dictator playbook, I think.. | |
