      Could you imagine what a truly smart and altruistic trillionaire could achieve?

      Although as soon as they tried to change anything they’d probably get disappeared.

        Anyone good with a billion pounds no longer has that billion pounds. Because they use it to cure a disease, or give to poor countries, or whatever. But what we need is systemic change, because we shouldn’t have to rely on rich people being philanthropists, the government should have that money and spend it on what the people vote for.
