They need one of those Biblical Jubilee thingys...
The Jubilee, originating from the Bible (Leviticus 25), is a special 50th-year celebration marking a "reset" of society. Occurring after seven sabbatical cycles (49 years), it was a year for liberating slaves, forgiving debts, returning land to original owners, and allowing the land to rest. It symbolized divine mercy and economic equality.

Key Aspects of the Biblical Jubilee:
Timeframe: Occurred every 50th year, initiated by the blowing of a ram’s horn (yobhel) on the Day of Atonement.
Rest: No agricultural work was to be done, allowing the land to lie fallow.
Social Justice: All debts were forgiven, Hebrew slaves were released, and inherited property returned to the original family, preventing permanent poverty.
Spiritual Significance: It represented a return to God, trusting Him as the owner of the land and provider.
