Housing for everyone, I would eliminate world hunger, and I would address climate change.

1. Energy production by turning Mercury into a Dyson swarm allowing us to more effectively use the energy produced by our Sun.

2. With that massive boost in energy and land mass, food production could be moved off the earth onto parts of the swarm increasing massively food production.

3. Since the cost of energy will be near nil, all forms of transportation changed over to electricity produced by the Dyson swarm that is beamed back to the Earth and any other planets and planetoids we decide colonize in our solar system.

4. Develop automatic systems to create homes, transport foodstuff, leaving mankind able to focus more on personal development (mental, physical, spiritual) and our economic system being converted away from Capitalism into a system more akin to what is demonstrated in Star Trek's United Federation of Planets. I.E. money is no longer used nor needed, since energy can be converted into any material we need for survival. A society that nolonger needs economist, because it would be a society that has access to near unlimited resources as long as the Sun continues to exist.

1. Increasing Population. I'd be like Genghis Khan out here.
Increasing? U fukking serious?

We got way too many people as it is. If covid did what was feared and took half the people we'd be better off. If thanos snapped and took half us out we'd be better off

What do you mean by unlimited money? It is hard to conceptualise in the context of what I would want to do with it.

Do I have the resources and clout to back it up or is the money tied to a system I rely on.

Assuming I had money and power, I'd naturally use it to dismantle society and reshape it in my image. It'd be a chance to push for equality but that isn't what I'd go for. I'd create a system where white people, and white people alone, have to clear them same hurdles and jump through the same hurdles we have to jump through. On the back of money would be bootstrap with a note to pull themselves up.

I'd spent some resources fukking up people and companies who have pissed me off over the years.

I would do things that everyone would benefit from. School, housing, food, infrastructure. As much as I want people to feel what inequality is like, I dont want to see people sick, hungry, uneducated or homeless. It is enough to see them struggling to realise their dreams knowing that their fate is in someone else's hands.

How do y’all plan to handle climate change?
Change building codes and city design. Similar to how buildings were being forced to remove lead paint and asbestos, we need to make existing buildings climate friendly, and have strict codes on new construction that includes using materials that require less resources to produce. Making concrete uses a lot of emissions and there are alternatives. The roofs of buildings should have solar panels on them and greenery to absorb carbon.

Honestly I could probably just buy up buildings and then demolish them and rebuild them to be as climate friendly as possible. I'd put money in the pockets of powerful politicians to support 15 minute city models. I'd partner with cities to build trolley systems, trains, and put electric buses on the road and knock down those multi-lane high ways that take up space which can be filled with neighborhoods and businesses like what was there in the past. Cities for people, not cars. Carbon Capture and Storage will be a REQUIREMENT in ALL coal and petroleum processing facilities. You're either shut down and fined, or you retrofit your buildings with that system. All cities will be required to have a TON of vegetation, the model would be based on something like Seattle or Singapore.

I'd fund projects for pulling carbon out of the air and projects based around nuclear fusion. I'd offer solar panels at a price that's too good to pass up for home owners and partner with the government to give tax rebates and government subsidies for people who are building net-zero homes. I'd pump BILLIONS into recycling projects, and planting algae and other carbon absorbing organisms into water.

1. Food for everybody

2. Free housing. U can pay for your upgrades, but every human being living who can prove mental competence deserves a roof over their heads.

3. Pretty girls can apply for a license. Said license allows them to walk around naked if they like. They tend to do that as it is

buy everything, then distribute everything equitably and start over :yeshrug:
i assume there's no need to take care of people's issues when they can truly take care of themselves
