Here's where capitalism, such as it is, becomes ridiculous.#
When people have enough money to pay for lavish lifestyles for themselves and generations of their offspring, what do they want? Orders of magnitude more money.#
I say "such as it is" because capitalism is an idea not reality. It can only exist when there's so much space between people they can't pool resources and don't need cops and courts to keep them from killing each other. #
And when technology is so backward that they can't create medicine or machines. After that it ain't capitalism anymore. It's a mess, a glorious human mess, that if left to grind it's way to completion leaves a dead planet in its wake. #
