What good could billionaires accomplish if they gave a shit?

[WorthlessTrash]

End world hunger or provide homeless people with housing.

In my opinion, its very complex. But I think they can accomplish good things by creating schools and access to mental health. Focusing all their attention in improving the little ones wellbeing, safety and education. This way we will have more functional adults in the future. I imagine they could try to fix or help hunger and everything but would it do much at the end? If people continue to take decisions that benefit their own misery, no one can keep saving them. Sadly, some people could have access to education and resources but they still won't take it. So accomplishing things is difficult cause its human kind after all. The world is also structured very badly, I see no much to accomplish even if they give all their fortunes. I think, however, that they should donate to the help of what I mentioned above but it is a little bit helpless to think about for me.

A lot of good.

When Biblical judgement day comes, I wonder will these billionaires be judged by not helping the world out more.

I think the occasional charitable donation is not considered a true good deed because it is public and they get tax write-offs.

However, who am I to judge?

I judge all

 

[eternalsleep16]

Invest the money in finding a cure for rare illnesses, build shelters for the homeless etc.

 

[Lebensunwertes]

Finance lobbying groups to legalize assisted suicide for physically healthy.

 

[Lost in a Dream]

Personally, if I was a billionaire right now, I'd donate 90% of everything I have to children's hospitals and organizations that are dedicated to ending animal cruelty before I CTB. My family would get the rest. It would certainly be a good way to end things, IMO.

But who is going to judge the Biblical God for doing absolutely nothing to stop children from being sexually abused? Either he doesn't exist or he's a total douchebag, and the same goes for all other gods that might exist as well. At least occasional acts of charity, regardless of the intent behind them, is better than doing nothing and sending billions of people to an eternal torture chamber for offending their ego.

 

[noaccount]

Not much really, because their wealth is a product of driving many other people into poverty.

Now, what could WE do if the fruits of our labor and creative-power weren't alienated from us? End hunger, provide all of each other with housing, and so much more.

 

[chocolatebar]

The most simple and achievable thing they can do is stop exploiting their workers and poorer countries by actually paying them salaries that can provide a reasonable living condition. Just by doing that, they will no longer be billionaires and so many people will have a much better life.

For other things, it's complex, as mentioned, especially because most of their money usually doesn't have much liquidity.

 

[Bombastus]

The greatest atrocity of the modern age is that even though we see and recognize that life is not fair, we have the resources to make it fair but choose not to.
billionaires wealth shared with everyone would solve the vast majority of humanities issues. Obviously disease and syndrome are a bit harder than just throwing money at them to solve, but hunger, poverty, hygiene, access to healthcare, general wellbeing, safety and security, education etc - so much could be seen as our dark past if people could supress their greed even if they just supressed the greed for 20 years the world would change.

I understand where you coming from bro. I have those same questions myself.

I'm new to religion and spirituality myself, so please forgive anything incorrect I say.

From what I understand, God created us with free will. That is what separates us from the Angels.

He allows us to act on our own accord at times even when it comes to evil.

Maybe the people who did those awful things you said will get their judgement one day too.

I think to be a billionaire is to not give a shit from the jump. If you can hoard that much wealth like an effin fantasy dragon you will never give a shit.

An artist's rendition of modern billionaires:



We have to take "their" money from them. Then they'd start giving a shit. Not about poor people but they'd probably pay closer attention.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I only hate billionaires because I myself am not a billionaire. If I became one, I'd fully support all the others and have no reason to hate any of them.

The solution is clear: if any billionaires are reading this, just send me as much money as you can and I'll stop hating you.

 

[Alex6216]

Alone?
Depends on certain circumstances, they might accomplish something or they might get assassinated.
If every billionaire worked together towards a certain cause?
A lot, they could literally change the way society is and most likely make poverty, physical abnormalities, violent crime, laziness and hunger a thing of the past

Sadly, some people could have access to education and resources but they still won't take it.

Making suicide legal and accessible would reduce this because a lot of people who are 'slackers' want to die but are unable to due to being scared of jumping/trains/whatever and do not know of any ways to do so painlessly

No amount of money is going to make my laziness a thing of the past, it would only make it worse if anything.

 

[Atlantian]

Nothing because i believe all of societies problems exist because of human nature. Homelessnees doesn't exist because sentient trees are fighting loggers. Poverty doesn't happen because of magic. Its all human caused and even stopping all of it for a second would be a temporary bandaid

 

[Alex6216]

If you allow people to kill themselves painlessly the amount of lazy people will go down since a-lot of people who are lazy are suicidal, I am one of those people for example. If everyone is physically fit, healthy, morally righteous, smart and aren't exposed to abuse or frequent entertainment then the amount of lazy people will decrease although some will exist but there's a good chance they're suicidal so allowing N to be purchased legally would decrease the lazy population even further

 

[MicropBaldCurrycel]

why should they give a shit, every single one on the planet is selfish and self centered its been proven its human nature, give those same hungry homeless people the money and they would turn the same.

I use to be an idealist too , i use to think being good and helping was important. Its not, the world is survival of the fittest, life is a battle and its dog eat dog.

i finally woke up and realized it.

hollywood and tv series make us wana feel like heroes and helping people matters, it doesnt.

people steal and hurt their own family, dont be so gullible to think anyone would help or care for you .

various experiments prove this.

 

[LucyB]

All billionaires are characters created by this realm. They don't make decisions for themselves. They are not individual people who are just so much smarter or luckier than you.. They are created and controlled by whatever runs this world.. This is why they only "donate" to major charity's (which are all a scam). This is why NONE of them care about the world's problems. Money BTW is not necessary. This realm has unlimited resources (yes unlimited) but since this is a prison and real people are meant to suffer money is used as a tool for that purpose.

Interesting. Yes, some billionaires get the green light by whatever runs this world.

If my life went differently and someone gave me a billion dollars I wouldn't use it for myself, I would try and use it for good. Although if you give it to me now I would give it to my family and CTB.
Also I disagree that people will always want to hurt others, even back in the stone age people cared for their own tribe although they were sometimes brutal against others. Most people who are evil are only evil because of poverty, lack of care with family and lack of education, take care of those 3 and the amount of evil people will decrease although some will persist so you could also change society to look down on these people and also make N legal and easy to get so those who are evil + no longer want to live are able to do so

No, LucyB believes every billionaire, as well as 80% of the world, are NPCs/animals with human-flesh with no brain. he also thinks life is like a (video) game and unlimited resources is achievable through some console commands like a Bethesda game (and according to him this is where milk comes from).
Yes I am just as dumbfounded by this belief

 

[MicropBaldCurrycel]

cared for their own tribe

keyword OWN , humans are tribal too another reason they suck.
My family matters more than> yours .

Stop being billionaires by stopping their exploitation of their workers.

Actually, the biggest thing they can do is what they already probably do: bribe government officials and lobbying but this time in a way that's actually beneficial to society.

 

[Fragile]

Not as much as some people seem to think, many billionaires already donate most of their money, and it barely helps.

Solving problems by burning money is very rarely a solution, it's much more complex than simply "solving the world hunger UwU" especially with corruption being so prevalent in many places. The only realistic thing that would happen is that the political class would get even richer and far more removed from reality.

Actually I'm a girl :) but yes most people in this world are background people (souless beings). I won't quote percentages anymore because 80% is my estimate. Tho I'm not sure of the correct percentage I do know that there are much more of them than us. It is a hard concept to grasp. I didn't believe it either until I was shown. I use the word video game because it's the closet thing to compare of what we know. Would you prefer simulation? Yes there are unlimited resources because this is a simulation.

I did not say that they were human flesh with no brain. They have every organ you have. What you need to realize is that you are not the body you're in. You were put into this body when you came to this realm. You're real physical form resides above.

If you really want to try and see the truth look at population growth over the last 400 years. Human beings do not reproduce that fast. It doesn't add up .

Ever seen the movie matrix? They are the "agent smith's". The "god" ruling this world last name is Smith.

True but making N legal could probably also benefit a few lazy homicides as well as the suicides. It might not be many but it would probably happen enough to deter people.
