2 days agoAssuming you could wave a magic wand and convert their net worth straight into cash 1:1 (you can’t), you couldn’t even do the last thing on that list, much less all the others:
Assuming in the US, using 2023 figures:
- Total combined net worth of all billionaires (remember, you can only “take all their money” one time): $5.2 trillion
- Total annual healthcare cost: $4.9 trillion
Too many people have been deluded into believing that ‘the billionaires’ are capable of easily solving all societal ills if only they gave away their wealth, and aren’t they such assholes for keeping their wealth and not solving them?
Most people are not nearly aware of the actual costs of these things.
