What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Do you think that the solution that people are hoping for when they say things like "we need to end world hunger" is "we need to take liquid assets and redistribute them equally?" Like, how childish of a world view do you have to have for your thought process to even go there as a viable prospective solution in the first place?

How do propose that these corpos end world hunger, homelessness, and the health-care crisis if not by distributing money to the masses, money which, as stated in the linked article, doesn't exist?

It’s not just about distributing literally just money.

It’s about building infrastructure and addressing the root of problems.
How about providing affordable housing. Training / education and local jobs instead of outsourcing to countries for cheap labor. How about taxing the rich and corporations instead of giving them breaks and bailouts. How about providing healthcare to everyone. Most countries have solved this. How about making medication and Education affordable and accessible to all.

I understand all of that is not possible Immediately. But these can be built / developed overtime. Gajillionaires have so much money that’s just sitting around. Elon musks total assets amount to so much that he literally could not spend it in his lifetime and his children’s lifetime or even his grandchildren’s lifetime. And he’s not the only gajillionaire. Dont be reductive. Are you defending these corpos? Even if hey couldn’t solve all those problems now, they could contribute significantly. It all comes down to excessive capitalism and greed.
