    The insane greed is something I simply can’t comprehend. Isn’t there a point at which it’s enough? It seems almost like a mental illness. Indefinite growth and infinitely increasing profit margins aren’t possible. There’s a limit to value and possible revenue. I don’t know where all of this is going, but it can’t be anywhere good, and I’m sure it will be violent. I seem to be in the minority, but I absolutely believe there is a point where a person has enough wealth and doesn’t, perhaps even shouldn’t, have more.

It truly is a cancer on society. It’s not like I want to abolish capitalism, I’m no tankie, but when does the greed stop? There’s a reasonable limit somewhere, but apparently in the minds of the corporate overlords:
