No one's suggesting cruelty (Okay probably some are, but). But you see what had happen was the planet is dying and 1% of the people have 45% of the money. So. Uh. There's a . . . it's . . . it's a math thing. Of course, they could give away a few billion to the Education department or the National Parks service or the EPA or Food Pantries around the - well, world really. A billion is a fantastic amount of money such that we really don't appreciate it.
Like, if someone were to count to one billion, allowing for 3 seconds per number (they get big, like, say, 295 million,111 thousand,433 dollars) it would take one ninety five years to count to one billion. And Gates is theoretically worth one hundred and forty six times ninety five years of counting. (Fine, that's 13,870 years)
And yet they're not doing anything with most of it. It just sits in a computer allowing them to buy governments and raze forests. Yes, yes, sometimes they give out free vaccines to some children which is a good thing. Kudos where due.
So TL;DR we're angry about it. The system created by the rich continues to make us fear going broke and destroy the planet. There's lots of people who know how to fix it, but they'll never be heard. And here we are, taking some schadenfreude from an exploded mini sub or whatever. Yes, it's true. Which group should be more ashamed.
