I 100% agree that billionaires shouldn’t exist. I also believe that governments will need to take actions and adopt laws that people won’t like at some point because we can’t expect people to cut on luxury stuff by themselves (like air travel for example)…
There are some things which the rich can’t force us to do, eating beef isn’t mandatory for example, neither is buying a car with a big engine instead of the more economical option, but realistically people won’t stop by themselves…
Agreed, there needs to be some kind of push or pull at play to get people to choose better, until it becomes ingrained anyway.
