I mean I guess this is better than 500 million sitting off shore bank accounts. A big part of the problem is rich people don't spend their money.

You'd think so, but not really. In terms of pollution, a mega yacht pretty much makes a private jet look like a bicycle.

He might as well just hand most of the money directly to a refinery in Cancer Alley.

A big part of the problem is rich people don't spend their money.

True, but a bigger part of the problem is that when they DO spend it rather than pathologically hoarding it, it's often on things that are actively harmful. Such as corrupt politicians, AI nonsense, and mega yachts.
