> How do you reconcile the apparent hypocrisy of your wealthiness?

I'm not sure this is full on hypocrisy.

In this case this is the game we are forced to play (late stage capitalism). Doesn't mean I need to like the game, but since I'm forced to play I will darn make sure to win as much as I can.

Hate the game, not the players

Nicely demonstrating the root cause of late stage capitalism - us. Perhaps we should blame the players.

I see so many comments trying to blame others or blame systems. Blaming billionaires, or consumers, or boomers, or zoomers.

Of course I'm part of the problem too. I do fix things in my direct environment but I figure trying to help fix more would be beyond my skills.
