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

@jtonline I am thinking about using “extinction”.

@jtonline or "clusterfuck"

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

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

@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.

@hoare_spitall @jtonline
A social murder of billionaires.

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

@jtonline I thought that was lawyers?

@jtonline

An "excess" of billionaires.

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

@jtonline "waste"?

@jtonline or maybe cancer.

@jtonline 'Cancer' maybe.

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

@etchedpixels @jtonline
I lean toward 'INFESTATION'.

@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.

@jtonline @Binder A malignancy

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

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

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

@craignicol @jtonline @Binder A malignant pregnancy maybe?

Trying to think of what could possibly relate and it has to be parasitic. I'm no doctor but I've not heard of a case of an organ just deciding to suck all the life out of you. A baby will do it though.

Some sort of mutated fetus/zygote that's growing so fast the mother is going to explode long before going into labor.
