Most of religion is b.s. but hoarding in a sin against humanity. If I had a billion dollars I wouldnt. I would be building houses and just giving them away, free and clear. You cant tell people how to live, but you CAN make it easier for them to find their best path.
The really bad thing about it is we already have enough homes to go around, they just dont because Dragons - I mean hoarders would rather they sit empty than help anyone.
Will giving the homeless free houses solve all their problems? No. But now they at least wont be as much of a drain on social and medical services. I know some of them would just trash the place, but thats a price I would be willing to pay to help the many who would use it as their new start.
I really dont know why Gates or Zuckerberg dont do this. They will be mostly reviled in 150 years. Fix homelessness and you're famous for several thousand years, the next Jesus, statues and monuments to their greatness in every city.
For anyone who wants to cry: But I had to pay for my house... stop being miserly, it is time to admit that that you got there with a lot of help along the way. No one is self made.
Someone else thinks like you do!

If you think religion is anti-hoarding, you've never been to the Vatican. Or the palaces of the House of Saud.
I have been to the vatican, did a France-Italy tour in highschool. Being raised Lutheran (rich person church) I knew at a young age that they were very selective about which rules the leaders wanted to talk about. Its a catch 22. Jesus said to reject material possession as a goal in life, however the church wants you to make more money so you can tithe more.
the problem with that statement is that its really easy to say that - because everyone that uses lemmy will never have a billion dollars. if we're exceeding lucky, your average individual might be able to pass a million or so onto the next generation - maybe.
the billionaires of today are like the millionaires of 150 years ago - the barons of railroad, newspapers, etc. they were largely lauded in their own time and regarded as great men, and remembered as pinnacles of industry in the history books. the trillionaires in a few generations will look towards Bezos, Gates, Musk, and Zuckerberg as role models, titans of the digital age.
You mean, Im not just a temporarily embarressed billionair?
Yea, your right. I just dont like the reality of the matter. I'll propably not even see the million given that Im neuro-divergant. I do also realise that if I were born rich I wouldnt feel and think the way I do about things. Im thankful for that. I would rather be Avalanche than Shinra (ff7 lol) anyways.
