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.
Don’t ban private jets. Ban billionaires.

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.

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.

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.
Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Obviously no one. That goes without saying.

Why? If you say that we should live like that don’t you want it for yourself?
