    Did you know the US spends over $1 trillion (with a T) every year on welfare programs? And that’s without ‘solving’ anything, just trying to treat symptoms.

    Being poor demands paying interest, who would have thought. According to the report to congress, 3.6% of citizens receive more than half of their income through welfare. The US has about 340 million citizens, so that’s about 12.5million. If you distributed 200bn of Musk’s wealth among them, that’d be 16k for each one. Pretty sure that would save more money than blowing trillions each year.
