    He didn’t have a trillion dollars. He has stocks that have a market cap of a trillion.

      We all know mate. No one is saying he has a trillion dollars sitting in a bank account. Money is also fake. We made it up. It’s just less fake to you than stocks.

      Stocks are speculation on the value of a company. Currency is speculation on the value of a country.

      They both become worthless if we all go arm ourselves and kill the right people.

        No need to kill, just transfer the ownership to all the workers and the public. Networth above 10mil should be a livesentence. There is no reason for an individual to own that much.

            But that wealth is stocks on company’s that don’t name a profit. How would distributing those stocks help us?

              Well we’ve tried not doing it this whole time and that doesn’t really seem to be working out so maybe we try it just this once.

                We can, but i think it would just make the problem worse.

                    So we are going to take stocks from companies that don’t turn a profit, and try to extract crash to fund programs to help everyone in a liquidity crunch.

                    This is will work out well

              You rapidly sell all the stocks, cash out while tanking the bullshit company and reducing the wealth of all those heavily invested in it. Win, win, win.
