        Unless you move to Italy, where they’re paying people to live in castles because so many of them are falling apart and in dire need of repair and people to maintain them.

          You just have to have so much money that the money makes you more money than you need in castle upkeep.

              Yes. This is the correct view of capitalism if seen from the position of money.

              Until you step back and ask where that money comes from.

              And you realize that it is a funnel, from those without money to those with money.

              And then the exponential growth “feature” starts to feel bad.

              I say this as a small business owner experiencing double digit year-over-year equity growth, trying to claw my way up and out of the crab bucket.

      I’m not down on wanting the cash really, I just find the ultra striving of our time to be so extremely cringe and immensely respect the artists that don’t partake.
