I saw a netflix movie once where it was all about where people had enough food and money and they weren't sick, but they put fat people on treadmills I think. Maybe that's what we need to do??

Dont you understand if we redistributed the wealth people would only wind up with like three grand apiece and then we'd just all starve because three grand buys you absolutely nothing and the economy never changes so the three grand would always just sit around while the crops fail because nobody will spend their three grand

Billions of people would be standing outside empty businesses staring at their three grand while slowly starving to death

the wall street guys would be utterly ruined, they'd all owe each other millions and only have three grand, slowly dying off from eating spoiling unrefrigerated uncooked filet mignon, not returning one anothers phone calls

idk fallout 4 involves this weird new system where crops work without money and it seems uncapitalistic, i like the old games where you have to buy food or kill a person who has some, much more accurate to life in tyool 2016

Actually, the world would be better if only the people who deserved it had food, money and basic healthcare and those things were distributed justly.
