Your problem is you’re thinking of them as one united group cooperating for what is best for all of them long-term…
If billionaires could think like that, they wouldn’t be billionaires.
We need to start acknowledging that its mental illness to put wealth above everything else to the level of becoming a billionaire.
None of them are in their right minds, and they view everyone around them as competition. They’ll burn the whole planet down if it makes them think it’ll increase their net worth and move them up the list, if it it results in a lower quality of life for themselves, that’s not their motivation.
If they wanted a better life they’d retire and enjoy their hoarded wealth, but they literally can’t stop hoarding because it’s a mental illness.

Billionaires can only exist in a large group of people. I think if a chimpansee (or any other ape) would decide to hoard all the resources of his group for himself, the rest would gang up on him and beat him to either submission or death.
