We live in a capitalist dystopia

[Ceir]

I'm genuinely not sure what thread to toss this in, because it's just more of my naive "I don't understand" bitching, but it is money related. I just cannot comprehend how people can be so greedy and so angry about things like "someone else's health care doesn't destroy them financially" and "someone else's kids actually get to eat a meal at school" while sitting on more money than entire shapes on the map themselves.

Being rich doesn't lead to greed; it's the other way around. Greed is the state someone is in to start with, and tends to make it much easier to do the horrible things that are necessary to amass that much wealth in the first place.

Put simply, people don't become billionaires unless they're already seriously obsessed with money.
