Off topic, but this the part that gets to me about billionaires. If I had billions I would spend my days helping communities and people directly, the amount of joy and impact on so many lives would be crazy. Every single day you can absolutely change multiple peoples lives in such a positive way.
But instead they fly their private jets to an island to diddle little kids.... what the actually F.
Its a crazy thought. Like, they are SO deranged it's almost cartoonishly unbelievable.
I'm decently well off from my work and I find when i gain more money I'm much more giving because its fun. Oh no problem I'll pay your lunch. Guy on street looks kinda poor so get him a burger. Guy in grocery store I can tell is homeless and is buying 1 apple. Give him 50 bucks . donate to Foss projects because they put a lot of work in
I can't imagine how much I'd give if I was actual rich, I'd donate to all the pet hospitals so no one has to watch their pet die because they can't afford medical bills etc., build 3rd places, buy all the school kids healthy lunch etc. There's so much.
Again, if we saw a tribe of 1000 monkeys and 1 of them hoarded every banana while the rest starved, that psychopath monkey wouldnt last long. Hopefully the same happens with humans soon.
