Or donate it for good causes. Honestly spending a billion dollars (let alone 7) is really hard, if you're not buying companies or land. It's just that an obscene amount of money.

But more poor people means more mindless consumers, which means more profits. And if we know one thing, it's that what the ultra rich want most, is be more rich. They are hoarders after all. And they couldn't concentrate more wealth onto them, if there's no one to take wealth away from. Or maybe that's hypothetical doesn't really work ;)

Did a back-of-the-envelope calculation.. these panels look too be about 40x40cm. With solar having a typical peak power of about 200W per m² you'd need about 300 of them for a 10KW peak home solar array (then you'd also need to hook up all the 300 batteries to have power through the night and not live in the US, where houses typically use way more power). Hypothetically of course..

This can absolutely also happen in a place like Germany. Yes, no one really has a truck for personal use (or rather a box truck), but you know a guy who knows a guy that has a truck for his business and doesn't need it on the weekend, et voila. Maybe it's not that extreme, but especially for 'poorer' working class people, helping out is still essential even in Germany.

I dunno. Probably lots of lead poisoning, micro plastics crossing the blood-brain-barrier, other harmful stuff in our city-atmospheres and of course social media (for "old" folks facebook, for young people Instagram and tiktok). All of has fried our collective brains and tendencies for what you described increase because of it. But maybe that's just an excuse to ascribe what's wrong with people to something external.
