   A #CrazyIdea I posted 3 years ago on a another platform:

   A lot of research shows that being rich (at least past a certain level) doesn't make you happier and turns you into a sad husk of a person), some examples:

   So why don't we just give ALL of the money to the money-grubbers. Let them have all the USD, EUR, Bitcoin, etc. We may just be happier! And they may just die of depression or excess.

   Of course we'll have to produce, gift, or trade amongst each other more...

      And if we all stop accepting *their* money for our work, and re-spending it on consumables, what will be the value of that money? Zero?
