Almost every problem in the world would be dealt with meaningfully if we outlawed billionaires.

Everytime I look at small problems or big global problems, if you follow the money trail, it all leads to some billionaire who is either working towards increasing their wealth or protecting their wealth from decreasing.
Everything from politics, climate change, workers rights, democratic government, technology, land rights, human rights can all be rendered down to people fighting another group of people who defend the rights of a billionaire to keep their wealth or to expand their control.
If humanity got rid of or outlawed the notion of any one individual owning far too much money than they could ever possibly spend in a lifetime, we could free up so much wealth and energy to do other things like save ourselves from climate change.

Yup. This is why the world had no problems before billionaires existed.
The problems were always the same since we left the cave our ancestors emerged from ... modern billionaires only exacerbate the existing problems we always had a billion times more.
They are also the ones stonewalling everyone's incentive to want to do anything significant about our world's problems. Instead of doing anything to fight about climate change which will severely affect our world .... we are fighting regional wars that shouldn't even be conflicts in the first place. And yes, much of the global problems we are facing today stem from a global corporate system which is controlled by a handful of billionaires ... they are the root of why we fight and they are also the solution to how these conflicts will end.
No problems at all (WW sounds in background)
