If we ban private jets, billionaires will just buy every seat on the commercial jet. This will be even more inefficient fuel wise, and worse for the environment overall.
There is an African tribe that picks the wealthiest member of the tribe to take care of everyone until they are broke. They do this willingly because after they spend all their money the tribe takes care of them. They will never need a place to stay because anyone would host them. They don’t need food or clothing because anyone would give them whatever they need.
We need reset like this. A way to make wealth accumulation a positive thing.
It has to be a solution that benefits both parties, but I also recognize that one party is giving up something tangible.
They have to be compensated in some real way. That is why I propose make a wish for the ultra wealthy. We pick an obscenely rich person, take 99% of what they own, and give them the one thing money can’t buy. A real wish that can be anything humans can reasonably provide.

Don’t ban private jets. Ban billionaires.
Nah, why not both?

Which tribe does this?
It was in my Anthropology book, I will have to go dig around for it. I tried a Google search but all I could get was crap.
It’s just one of those things that sounds sorta believable and has a feel good message but a lot of those are actually bunk
This can be done right now. The problem is finding the people who want to live like that. So who wants to live like that? Please reply.
Obviously no one. That goes without saying.
Why? If you say that we should live like that don’t you want it for yourself?
I was saying we need something positive to benefit society and the wealthy person to deal with people accumulating too much wealth.
The story just shows us it is possible and makes me think of other possibilities.
Which other possibilities do you have in mind?

A limit of seats per person?
