      4) The fact that billionaires wont do 3) is a good reason to heavily tax them and use the revenue to do necessary mitigation/adaption & other necessary solutions.

          5) No more billionaires seems like a good policy objective to me.

          Yes, the government is a terrific deployer of capital investment, far better than billionaires. What do billionaires know about return on investment? Great reasoning. Hopefully soon govt can control all our money. Wouldn’t that be awesome, all our problems paid for by govt.

          I don't see how they can't do both. They could still give up x portion of their income to make a difference and still spend x amount on their hobbies/ ventures.

          It also saves the Billionaires from having to live in tiny metal boxes on recycled air and pygmy goat.

          5) Our culture of billionaire fetishization has blinded us to the fact that most of these people are just kooks and won't act at all coherently with their stockpiles of cash.

          We don't need their revenue to do anything, but tax their wealth anyway to reduce inequality.
