Fund free education and health care for everyone in the world regardless of race, nationality and creed. Imposed no matter how much kicking and screaming certain countries might do to oppose it. With appropriate countermeasures for each specific country that opposes it. A random country in the middle east that hates educating girls or whatever? Armed guards and other related measures as needed. US has entrenched for profit health care? Fund legislation that rips out the entire system by the roots etc.
Excess funds would be invested in such a way as to fund those programs in perpetuity. With safeguards put in place so that I can be reasonably certain that it won't be easy to dismantle from within or without.
Assuming I have enough money left over, I'd do the same for housing.
If I still have money left over if also fund ways of tackling the climate crisis and changing corporate strategy so instead of chasing infinite growth in a finite world the mentality is more about stability and stewardship, of the company and of the planet.
There are about 2 billion people under 14 in the world. Assuming half of them have access to free education you would still only have $300 per student.
Change other countries beliefs, by force if necessary? Ive heard that before somewhere...
But its not wrong because were the good guys!
Not what I had in mind when I said that, but intent doesn't translate well over text. What I had in mind is protection for the school/students from people who would rather enforce their views through force, nothing more than that. The idea is that everyone has a chance to get an education.
Yeah that sounds better^^ But Im afraid it wouldnt be that effective then, if e.g. a majority of a country believes that women shouldnt go to school, most probably wouldnt even if given the chance, because of pressure from friends and family.
I would give my money to this guy
