Preface
There is no need to say how important the sun is to the earth, as long as the people of the earth know that without the sun, all life on the earth would no longer exist.
It is that the sun, which is so important to the earth, is not the common wealth of the earthlings, but the "private property" of a female lawyer in Spain.
Master of the sun
Angelas Durán is a very ordinary female lawyer in Spain, and she has not done anything shocking.
But in 2010, this ordinary female lawyer unexpectedly discovered a great business opportunity, that is, to use the loophole of the United Nations "Outer Space Treaty" to register the sun as her private property.
This idea is really ridiculous, and no normal person would think that it is possible to register the sun as a person's private property.
No one believed that Duran could become the master of the sun, not even herself.
When she found out that as early as 1980, an American named Dennis Hope in the United States actually successfully applied for the moon to become his private territory, and also sold the land of the moon to two former US presidents, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, as well as many Hollywood stars, and finally became a billionaire.
This success story gave Duran great confidence and also gave her great courage.
She applied to the Spanish government for the sun to be her private property.
It stands to reason that the Spanish government should not agree to such an absurd application.
However, in the face of Duran's attractive conditions: after Duran's application is successful, he will charge everyone on the earth a solar usage fee of $1 per person per year, 50% of the annual royalty will be given to the Spanish government, 40% will be subsidized by the elderly and the poor, and she will only keep 10% for herself.
You must know that there are more than 7 billion people on the earth, and the annual usage fee of $1 per person is more than $7 billion in income, and 50 percent of the income is nearly $4 billion.
This is really a huge amount of revenue for the poor Spanish government. Even if it is not successful, it will not have any impact on the Spanish government.
How could the Spanish government not do such a good deal that would make a profit and not lose money?
Soon, the Spanish government approved Duran's application, and the sun became Duran's personal property, and at the same time, she also announced to all earthlings that she would levy a solar royalty of $1 per person per year.
Difficult to collect royalties, sued the United Nations
Although Duran declared the sun her private property and demanded that governments pay her royalties for the use of the sun, the governments of course ignored such absurd demands.
Seeing such a cold attitude from all over the world, Duran was really angry. She believes that she, as the owner of the sun, has absolutely the right to charge royalties to earthlings.
But she also knows that she is soft-spoken, and it must be time-consuming and laborious to collect fees from countries around the world, and there is no hope.
She thought of the easiest way to do it, and that was to ask the United Nations, an organization representing all the nations of the earth, to help her enforce the power of the master of the sun.
At first, the United Nations didn't take it seriously, thinking that paying for the use of the sun was nonsense.
But Duran's persistence has put the United Nations in a difficult situation, and the most important thing is that Duran, as a lawyer, has always been able to grasp the details and loopholes of the legal provisions, so that the United Nations has to admit that what she said is reasonable.
In the end, the United Nations had to bow to this ordinary and unusual Spanish female lawyer, admit that they had made mistakes in formulating the legal provisions, and had to pay Duran $500,000 to buy out the right to use the sun from Duran, so that the sun could be restored to the hands of all mankind, and no longer Duran's "private property".
summary
Duran's behavior is absurd and undesirable, but her behavior is also a wake-up call to all those who make the rules, that there is no shortage of speculators in the world who exploit loopholes.
These people are always thinking of breaking the rules and taking shortcuts to seek their own interests by finding loopholes and exploiting loopholes in the law.
Just like those celebrities who evade taxes are essentially the same as people like Duran, they are all opportunistic and want to seek improper benefits.
In order to put an end to the behavior of such people, only by formulating more rigorous provisions can they stop their impulsive hearts, and the society can be more standardized!
