Man we as a society should all pool our resources together so that things like this can be done on a much larger scale wouldn't that be cool

Instead of “gofundme” we should call it “taxes”

No that's stupid. If we used the natural wealth of the planet to ensure a comfortable life for everyone, how would a small proportion of people live extravagantly without actually contributing anything? Don't you understand economics?

I like that idea. We build a community social system of shared resources - maybe even owned by the people working the jobs. Why has no one ever thought of it? I'm sure everyone in the world would get on board.
