This is a joke, right? The people buying up all the land don't care about the people who lived there. If anything, I expect them to pounce on the cheap real estate and screw over the people who lived in the burned neighborhoods.
If Tony Stark was in Maui, he would have the vast empire of his fortune at the disposal and be able to just invest as he sees fit, and put the manpower into getting the needed help.
The same can be said about Gates, or Musk, or whoever.
The problem is that 5 disasters later they're at $0 and are done. And this is because they were directly there to direct their people to solve the problem. We don't need any AI to research, people can do this juuuust fine, as they have done for the last entirety of human history. The difference is that the government doesn't have unlimited money, and food, and etc just sitting around waiting to give it for these situations. And there isn't any rich person stepping in and directing it all. And frankly it takes more than 24h to get all this done, because shipping that much food isn't easy, and finding available planes isn't easy, and fielding a fleet just to sit around all day waiting to be sent in isn't economical.
The problem isn't simple. The problem is that this is what preparations are form, and what redundancy economic mechanisms are for, so that when this happens, we can do something necessary.
The reason Tony Stark can do what he can do, is because of the following factors:
- he has unlimited money, or costs are so low that effectively unlimited money
- he creates technomagic. At that point why doesn't tony stark just send out nanobot tech making food for all humanity.
- he is actually intelligent and wins because of effort NOT luck. Reality is the opposite.
