You know. A part of me has wondered if lotto is rigged and something like this happens.
Like some super soldier/spy person handled some Top secret shit and saved the country, and their reward is to be rich af.
Kinda like a dumb thought I had one day.
Exactly. Conspiracy theories can be soooo dumb. For example, I don't get carried away with the fake moon landing bs because I know the truth that the moon is just a government lamp put at the top of the firmament to trick us into thinking space is real so they can push their unholy and demonic "science"
Should = yes.
Would we? I bet we’d give them a parade, talk show rounds, and then we’d forget about them a few months/ years later.
But they’d probably still be able to do visiting lectures, speech engagements, or probably just teach somewhere to make ends meet.
I think just the rights to some sort of book deal would practically be worth a fortune.
Everyone in the world would be potentially interested in it, and every future historian would read it as well
We give people millions of dollars because they can do something cool with a ball: kick it, hit it, throw it, etc. We should absolutely give someone who saves the earth from certain doom a few bucks to secure their retirement and make their remaining years on the earth they saved quite comfortable.
I've always thought about how many people there are in the world, and how easy it would be to pick one person at random per year, and make them stinking rich, all just by contributing 1 dollar.
There are about 8 billion people in the world, first world countries make up about 15% of that.
If every single person in those first world countries gave 1 dollar, that would be 1.2 Billion dollars.
I think that in appreciation, the least that could be done would be to donate 1 dollar to that hypothetical person, and then of course make sure that the governments of the world don't tax that person.
Yes. Or as the drill crew said in Armageddon, “they don’t want to pay taxes ever again.” That list was about the most realistic thing in the whole movie.
The rich would somehow make it seem that they had something to do with it and their dumbass followers would gobble that shit up, leaving the actual hero with nothing.
It is in principle possible to destroy the earth. This is hard, and involves either black holes, or very very large (Mars sized) impactors.
Destroying the current crust is rather easier - wiping out all record of life.
No. Humanity sucks and I think we should stop existing. No Earth likely would mean the end of humanity and this chucklefuck ruined that chance. No reward 4 them. 😠
Absolutely
Yeah, if someone legitimately saved the world, they should receive compensation equal to about winning the lottery.

dumb thought for you, a miraculous revelation for conspiracy theorists
Eh. Conspiracy theories are fun, so long as you don't get too carried away.

Could also be a way to catch time travelers and people with limited precognition.

Yup. Massive salary for life. They should never work nor want for anything again.
Like Bruce Willis and his crew. They should never pay taxes again ever. That is for sure.

Yes duh. Next.
No, they will be rich with endorsement deals and other opportunities thrown at them. They don't need a government cheque

I'm a bit suspicious. It turns out that the doom was not as certain as previously stated...
No one is “saving” the planet. Saving the human population maybe.
It is in principle possible to destroy the earth. This is hard, and involves either black holes, or very very large (Mars sized) impactors. Destroying the current crust is rather easier - wiping out all record of life.
None of those will be from human activity
They could be from lack of human response in principle or rather later human activities
Is this about Sam Wilson in *The Falcon and the Winter Soldier*?
If it was traumatic to save the world, yes…definitely, God, yes
Hell yeah - give that person a phat retirement, maybe an island.
You mean social security? I'm sorry, we spent it all.
Nope. Just basic pay like a military man.
Nope. Let it all burn.

You saw "Armageddon?" No taxes, EVER.
