Imagine sitting on a trillion dollars and deciding the best use of your time was stirring up hatred and violence.
If you spent $1 million a day…you would still need 2700 years to spend your fortune.
You could solve world hunger…that would cost less than 1% of global military spending:

$93 billion a year.
But getting poor people to riot and destroy other poor people’s homes and infrastructure must tickle some inhumane part of #Musk’s brain.
@JugglingWithEggs @LJ if I had a trillion dollars I’d be spending my time giving it away and using it to restore some sanity. Might move to a house in the mountains with a great view and room for the dog to run around like a maniac. Put up a cat-proof fence so my cats could go outside if they wanted. Start a cat rescue, fund other ones.
My wife always says “nobody goes hungry on your watch” because I usually buy or make more than enough food for family gatherings or parties. I’d love to make that literally true and see to it everybody eats.

@JugglingWithEggs hoarding wealth is an illness
How much do you need? If your answer is more you are sick

@JugglingWithEggs Even if it cost 20% of military spending, wouldn’t it be worth it? Not if you are #tRump et al.

@SaanichGuy @JugglingWithEggs somebody hoarding stuff in their own home is considered mentally ill. Time for wealth hoarders to be considered the same.

@JugglingWithEggs Stirring up hatred and violence is how you end up with a trillion dollars in a completely broken and corrupt system.

Another paper from October 2024 showing this:

@BillySmith Thank you... I hope that paper is widely discussed by our next generation of economics students! @JugglingWithEggs

Remember the date of the paper.
It was written before the 2025 roll-out of solar farms, and before the 2026 bombing of Iran, which has increased the speed of the current transition to renewables, so the current figures will be a smaller percentage of the overall Global Energy Production.
This was also before the rollout of the Chinese automated "Dark Factories" in 2025, so Global Productivity has increased as well.

@JugglingWithEggs
Tempting to think people starve because others like it that way.
Difficult to solve.
Money is promises, and work is done by people, and I think it is non-trivial to turn the assets owned by billionaires into something good for others.Worthwhile, but many discrete tasks.

@SaanichGuy @JugglingWithEggs I do this thing from time to time, where I take a set number of millions (usually 3, but sometimes 10) and work out how much interest is accrued per week based on 3.75% interest. I look at the result and I ask myself, if they can't live on that much per week, how in touch with reality are these shit biscuits?
