"Money controls business."

I'm looking at a dollar bill on the table in front of me, and I don't think it controls anything. It's an inanimate object.

I know this isn't what you mean. But it's helpful to point this out, for the sake of clear thinking and accuracy: human beings control money. They choose if, where and how to earn it or spend it. Ultimately, it's not money that controls business, but people, with ideas, lives, dreams, goals, motives (sometimes shortsighted and foolhardy, but also sometimes farsighted and brilliant) etc. There is no good reason to imply that one inanimate object or technology such as money is somehow inherently tainted, even if only to some small degree.

Why not try calling out bad ideas instead? What are they, and why are they bad?
