Maybe the rigged casinos they call capital markets have been a plague upon mankind and need to be a lot more than occupied.
Maybe letting people accrue more currency aka power than they need to live in exchange for no labor has doomed our society and our species.
Maybe those retirement accounts that make up a small fraction of the value of the market were just a Trojan horse to get laborers to allow murder for private profit, homelessness for private profit, academic economic segregation for profit, destruction of the commons for profit...
You should be able to (at some point) accumulate enough wealth that you can live at least half your life in luxury without ever working another day.
That should be a difficult , but possibly attainable goal.
You should not be able to accumulate enough wealth to make hundreds of people commit their life's work solely to your whims. You should not be able to accumulate enough wealth to just buy politics.
That's what's fundamentally broken in our system. It's fixable, if the right people want to.
