Does ending poverty just mean finally having nobody who doesn't produce a product for capitalism to sell and get paid in Ameri-bucks for? Cause I don't see see how adding more trillionaires would do anything to help poverty and just exasperate it.

Bold to imagine Capitalism can last another 229 years without either destroying the planet or collapsing.
Surely the trillionaire could fix it.
Optimistic that poverty will end
Poverty is a feature of capitalism, you can't end poverty without ending capitalism.
I bet we end capitalism before 229 years... Because if we don't, we'll end humanity.
Time for another game of.....
CORRELATION!!!
OR!!!
CAUSATION!!!
(it's causation)
Why are we resigned to there being a trillionaire in the future when it hasn't happened yet? There is time to stop it from happening. We can just kill them.
We're all to afraid and too fat to actually eat the rich and guillotine 'em. As long as we have social media to get out frustrations out, Colts football games to watch and Baja Blast to drink we aren't gonna do a goddamn thing.
I would hope the rising inequality after the pandemic would push people to care more but that's probably expecting too much.
The world’s first trillionaire better live on that yacht off the grid. Pretty sure they’re going to be the first to get the guillotine.
Here's my prediction: the billionnaires and trillionnaires will have their heads on a spike within 30 years - but not before they've utterly fucked up the rest of society on their insane quest to approach infinite inequality levels.
poverty won't be eradicated for another 229 years
could be much sooner if we eradicate billionaires and would be trillionaires.. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Guy: And I wish for all world poverty to be eradicated by the year 2050
Genie: Done
Guy: Seriously? Everyone will have enough? In 25 years?
Genie: In 25 years, every living human will have as much as they desire. All their needs will be met; they will want for nothing.
Guy: Why did you say it like that?
Guy: Wait hold up why did you say it like that?
That's a very short horror story.
Because nobody with the ability is seriously trying to eradicate poverty. People are trying hard to become a trillionaire.
