Ok hear me out. Lots of people complaining about billionaires.

I get it. They have a lot of money. They don't always give it away unless it's to avoid taxes.

Just taking money from billionaires feels wrong

What if instead we took a random drawing and just sacrificed one per year?

So this way they would be incentivised to donate money. But if they wanted to risk it they could try.

Maybe our corn crops would grow better too.

So not to long ago someone asked on reddit if every billionaire in the world gave their money to everyone, the math came out to everyone getting 1056.00 dollars each.

That's actually more than I thought. That is meaningful money. I honestly don't think anyone NEEDS 1 billion dollars and if you really could cash it out like that I would.

But in reality most of that wealth can't be liquidated. It would take decades.

What do you think is a more meaningful/better way to donate?

I don't understand the question. I thought 1k let person would actually be nice
