When there is a gold rush while the entire forest is on fire, please sell water pumps, and fire trucks... 30 billion dollars could have been spent on useful things to make the world better. It could have been spent on livable cities, cycling infrastructure, lowering the impact of climate change, or if not that, plain education and healthcare
Imagine if they’d paid real people $30B instead of boiling the ocean.
30 billion dollars that could have been spent on education and improving healthcare or stopping climate change
I'm so glad it was all spent on actively making the world a worse place.
