not to be a dirty commie or anything but i don’t think any one person should have enough money to solve world hunger and then get to decide not to
If I was an evil trillionaire, and had a MASSIVE ego and thought everyone should worship at my feet, I would solve world hunger and make them put my name on fucking EVERYTHING. Gold statues etc. And they would, because every person with a functioning heart would be happy that world hunger was solved. And then my shitty massive corporations would make even MORE money because people would be like “I’m gonna boycott _____ company cause their CEO is a meglomaniacal trillionare” and people would be like “Oh you don’t want to FIX WORLD HUNGER???” and if anyone tried to tax me people would say “Oh you don’t want to FIX WORLD HUNGER?” Arrest me for my many crimes? Same deal!
And so I would still easily have more money than I could spend and I would still get to do anything I would want and STILL be The Guy Who Fixed World Hunger.
Like you fix world hunger you get a free pass to be as horrible as you like for the rest of your life with basically nobody to censure you- which is what these assholes want.
Why are rich people so bad at being rich people?
But they are, so I think we should stop them.
