Sounds like trickle-down economics to me
It wasn't meant to appear that way. I wasn't trying to speak of the supposed billionaire in a good fashion, just that at the end of the day money is only used to get someone to do something which even the billionaire needs to do as they don't labor, others do on their behalf. In the case of the billionaire it's actually a huge issue in this respect as they have a massive amount of potential energy to inspire a ton of work that could be, and is, used against us.
Even if the person has already done the work, they did it for the promise of money they can then use to have someone else do something (or have already done something and are trading the fruits of their labor for the "energy deficit.")
The promise of money is the inspiration to expend energy.
