Like @cstross , I’ve only been realizing very late that extremely rich people are necessarily crazy.

It’s logical: non-crazy people will, at some point, hit the "more money than enough even for my craziest fullfilling dreams".

People who are still destroying their social/ecological environment for more money above that level are, obviously, crazy. And dangerous.

They are addicted to money. Every day when they wake up, their first thought is that they need more.

It's confusing, for me as a poor person, with thousands of dollars in debt, who is homeless.

I also, need more money, apparently. How is it that I seem to have that in common with the ultra rich?

Particularly since: I do not actually want any money.

I think housing and food and such should be basic fundamental rights for all living creatures on this planet.

For some reason, every other species besides humans seems to have figured this out already. Even birds build nests for their eggs/hatchlings.

Me? I guess I need to work more jobs (I already have one, it is insufficient. A far cry from a livable wage.)? For this stupid money construct? All while making rich people who already have too much, richer?

I feel like a fool.
