The senators are tied to the billions, not the person who died.

Miriam Adelson inherited all of them. As long as the estate funds keep the gravy train flowing, and estate benefactor agrees with previous billionaire's fascism and genocide, the establishment marches on without a blink.

Throw them on the funeral pyre.

Bit quick. I'm fully on board with them being entombed with their dead billionaire, they will tear each other apart trying to survive.

Now I'm not demanding that it all should be televised for us to watch it, but...

How can a new billionaire be born without selling tickets to the event? It's like a Phoenix, but instead it rises from the cashes of the old billionaire.
