    Fun “SocDem” style mechanism since this is a hypothetical anyway:

    you could use this as a way to fine anyone above a certain income bracket (say $200k) who was still unvaccinated. Start off small, but then rapidly compound the rate you’re seizing until it ends with them at the $200k benchmark.

    Publicly list the amount being seized and run huge propaganda campaigns showing it being diverted into covering the healthcare costs of everyone with covid. Frame the people who you took the funds from as being hoarders who wanted everyone being helped to suffer.

    This is stupid and wonky since you at this point would have already seized their wealth, but would be hilarious to watch happen.

    Edit: If I remember right; I’ve read some numbers varying the amount that everyone could equally have in the world as annual income as between $75k-$200k.
