I always find this “money doesn’t buy you happiness” argument really strange & pointless. In your scenario where are the rest of us? Dead & gone a long long time ago. There’s little meaning in having the moral high ground when we’re all dead.

What I feel gets overlooked a lot is money equates to capital & opportunity. Their “stacks kd cash” have real power right now. They can leverage just the existence of that to do what they want. Take Elongate Muskrat as a prime example and how he bought his website keeping stock as collateral (not even selling it).

Which makes its extremely important to not leave the rich with their money. Now is when that money actually has value, we need to tax the ever living fuck out of the ultra rich and start thinking about saving as many people as we can.

I also understand I am part of the 1-5% of the world’s population and am ready to pay and make others like me pay as well. And I am definitely not alone.
