Everytime I look at small problems or big global problems, if you follow the money trail, it all leads to some billionaire who is either working towards increasing their wealth or protecting their wealth from decreasing.

Everything from politics, climate change, workers rights, democratic government, technology, land rights, human rights can all be rendered down to people fighting another group of people who defend the rights of a billionaire to keep their wealth or to expand their control.

If humanity got rid of or outlawed the notion of any one individual owning far too much money than they could ever possibly spend in a lifetime, we could free up so much wealth and energy to do other things like save ourselves from climate change.

    Yeah thats kind of right. For me and you yes, but most billionaires don’t pay as much as you. And with their money you could build schools, transportation and other nice stuff. If nobody would pay taxes, the government wouldnt print all the money for society. In no country where people dont pay taxes there is a good life…
