Each one of them could solve world hunger alone, they choose not to. The very existence of a billionaire is a failing as they only exist via mass scale exploitation

This is a disgusting amount of money.
Families are losing healthcare and can't afford food or basic necessities.
And the billionaires keep getting richer.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
