Someone on /r/latestagecapitalism pointed out if you seized everyone's excess billions above $1B, you could end world hunger for 216 years, end climate change by 2030, etc etc.

Around 7.5 billion people on earth would probably agree to those benefits.

Someone should have pointed out that they were wrongly assuming people could eat paper.

Of course they could, but it wouldn’t help people so why bother?

Sounds like something /r/latestagecapitalism would say and this wouldn’t be the first time they were wrong. Show me the work.
