Because it’s never about money. If we take each billionaire and distribute their wealth equally, I’ll be like $1000/person. It could be life changing for some, but in reality it won’t change much.

Here’s the good shit you might not be ready for: Money should be abolished completely. Money is basically a tool we use to allocate finite resources, but we can come up with a much better alternative. To begin with, food, shelter, healthcare, water and education should all be provided to every single person of the world as a matter of priority. There is no practical reason for these things to be artificially scarce, we already have enough for everyone, but the profit motive gets in the way. For things which are genuinely scarce, we could handle in a lot of different ways. We could centrally manage it, (which personally I wouldn’t really recommend, as that centralizes power) or we could have a series of industrial unions which are responsible for the management and distribution. Money is a completely failed conceit of distributing our resources and labor to where they are most needed. It actively prevents the flow of resources to where they are needed. Capitalism is an evil system and it has to go.
