The Earth only can survive with Humans with Humanity, it's not only the rich, it's ignorance, stupidity, fanatism and greed the problem. It's all the stupid people which vote for those which give power to the rich (MAGA rednecks, fascists, flat earther, anti-vax, influencers "Climate change is a Hoax", buyed media fom these people with fake news, etc.).
The bottom line is not that someone is rich, but what he do with the wealth and how he earned it..
Voting for Democrats is also voting for those that give power to the rich. But this must be looked at in the larger context of the U.S. political system, which shows that it’s not a problem of voters but of the essence of the state itself.

FTFY
Given their diet. Pretty sure that would increase methane production.
I reckon Earth probably can support an ant future for quite a bit longer than apes.
Instead of waiting for them to break their 400th consecutive pinky promise to consume less, how about No More Rich?
Time to reset the initial conditions, and this time, make sure there are safeguards to prevent this level of inequality happening again.
Socialism is the only answer.
“No”, then.
Can Earth support a human future? Maybe, if we kill more rich people.
You have to redistribute that wealth with socialism, killing the people who currently possess it will just create new billionaires, it won't solve the problem.
You can have redistribution without socialism. There was a modest amount of redistribution even under Eisenhower.
Well thats an interesting idea: how many more people can the earth support for each billionaire
