If 3.5 billion people were to spend $500 quick, that would give an enormous economic boost globally. Most of those people would probably spend it wisely, improve their lives considerably, start businesses etc.

I read it has been shown that simply giving money to the poorest people is a very effective way of stimulating the economy.

I know when I was broke, working crappy jobs and in debt, $500 would basically have put a small dent in my credit card, and not much else.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk has $16 billion dollars and hes making significant strides towards colonizing mars and slowing global warming.
