Almost every problem in the world would be dealt with meaningfully if we outlawed billionaires.
Everytime I look at small problems or big global problems, if you follow the money trail, it all leads to some billionaire who is either working towards increasing their wealth or protecting their wealth from decreasing.
Everything from politics, climate change, workers rights, democratic government, technology, land rights, human rights can all be rendered down to people fighting another group of people who defend the rights of a billionaire to keep their wealth or to expand their control.
If humanity got rid of or outlawed the notion of any one individual owning far too much money than they could ever possibly spend in a lifetime, we could free up so much wealth and energy to do other things like save ourselves from climate change.

More is never enough for those people.
When we see an older woman collecting 50 cats in her home and she still wants more .... we call her crazy.
When a billionaire successfully argues against being taxed so that they accumulate more wealth ... we put them on the cover of Forbes magazine.
It's kind of easy to have more cats, the second one not so much
Have you ever tried to take care of one cat? .... let alone 50? ... it's still the same mental disorder to me.
