They obviously lack a role model in their life. If there is a market for such an app, who has or is going to develop an app that fills that gap and offers the knowledge sincerely that they are missing, without the abusive parts?

Is there a forum where billionaires interact with other citizens in a constructive way to figure out where to invest money for the benefit of all?

If 90% are not able to vote for parties that tax the 1%, then democracy doesn't work. What has to change?

Or 90% know that they don't care about investing money and prefer to leave that decision to the 1%.

That's what you can do by yourself. Since you are not alone, do all of you together have the opportunity to do something else?

Money only makes money if you choose to invest in things that increase in value.

If everybody invests in lithium mines then there will be a surplus and many investors will lose money.

It's work to collect the information to make the right choices.

Like workers don't share with the third world miners who provided the raw materials, billionaires don't share either. They can be taxed, though. But how much?

Should their billions be taken? Then who has the money to invest in risky opportunities? How much of their wages are workers willing to pool for those investments?

Is it not an option to leave the window open and give the fly some time?

Libertarianism also works if there is information about bad people and good people are free to avoid them.

Freedom of information and freedom of action.

It's easier to avoid bad people in free markets than it is to prevent them from taking and abusing positions of power in a powerful state.

What else but regulations prevents the creation of surplus housing? That poverty as a feature post, why are those houses not been built?

It only takes a few people to solve the housing market in a liberal market by organizing the construction. With regulations, it takes a majority to make a change. The same majority who could rise taxes and build affordable housing with tax money right now.

There is land, unemployed people who can do the construction and people with income who seek housing and will pay for it. Who is preventing the construction?

I would like to share your attitude but fear the consequences when millions seek a place in the wilderness. What do you do when you arrive and your neighbor asks you to move on because he wants to be more alone?
