3. This is the capitalist's dream. To own everything and the lower class pay rent until they die.

I’m in a philosophical mood this morning, and it’s really an imitation of monarchy.

Monarchs claim to be deigned by God, literally, and behave like omnipotent little gods, but with the right to be sleazy, rape anyone they choose, be brutal as it pleases … does this sound familiar?

I choose an opposite philosophy, no omnipotent anything. And that works out better.

People just try to be their best selves, not some deity. But I digress.

Greed is such a poison. And we as a society worship it.
