What If…? Mind-Bending Scenarios That Twist Reality

Billionaires have shaped economies, culture, and even politics for decades. Their influence stretches far beyond their bank accounts, impacting everything from innovation pipelines to policy-making. But imagine if the world imposed term limits on billionaires, much like elected officials have limits on their time in power. Or perhaps we capped personal wealth—setting a ceiling beyond

Imagine a world where paying taxes isn’t mandatory, where the government functions like a public Kickstarter campaign, relying entirely on voluntary contributions from citizens.
