Money is a means to power, and is one of the major reasons one person can exploit another person. The accumulation of it is by far one of the greatest ills in today's world. A dollar does not represent just a material indicator of wealth, but of human labor and exploitation.
Money makes money, the average return on investment is 10% or so, and so if you have ~150k invested, you can have a minimum wage employee for free. Forever. And still keep the money. Our current economic system says if you have $150k you deserve the entire benefit of someone’s labor for life.
okay gang, communist pyramid scheme. you ready? first, we need a lot of money. this will be hard, maybe we win the lottery. but then we have a group of people with 150k, who in turn take any profits and put it into a trust for another person who has to do the same thing
My favourite thing is capitalists talking about "freedom" while never mentioning that you're ability to do everything is directly tied to whether you can afford it
well america is a narcissistic culture and the evidence is conclusive— you cannot money your way out of being a narcissistically injured gigaincel that nobody likes

Money is money. A medium of exchange that requires societal & transactional consent.
Power is power. By position or means you have them over a barrel. That is all.
