      If money is imaginary then why can’t we guarantee food, shelter, clothing, and education for every single human on this planet.

      You’re half right (there is no finite pool of money) but your conclusion is bonkers. Rich people are not spending their money, they’re using it to outbid each other for control of existing assets. So that they can overcharge ordinary people to access the things that they need.

      The boots are not that tasty. Stop fucking yourself over for a chance to lick them.

          You are not a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. You’re one of the people the wealthy gladly step on. We’re all in the same boat, sharing the same crumbs, rowing our hearts out.

          We’re tugging a yacht behind us, full of billionaires having a banquet on the backs of our labor.
