Ok so how does a cancer kill its host?

It grows until it consumes so many nutrients that the other living cells don’t get enough. The host literally starves even if he eats plentifully.

The same applies for the US: The billionaires are not only hoarding wealth, but by doing so they’re crippling the economy for workers and everybody besides themselves.

    There are roughly just under 3000 people on earth with more than a billion dollars.

    They have a combined net worth of over $16 Trillion

    Say the almighty Cthulu/Allah/Zeus decided “yo fuck those assholes” and instantly redistributed that $16 trillion among all 8 billion+ people on earth equally

    Everyone: Every man, woman and child would get just a bit shy of $2000.

    Fun thought experiment
