It's a weird kinda greed and it's not capitalism as I understand it (given my ignorance). If *that's* greed, then I guess we're all greedy. It's my greed that makes me want all the homeless to be housed? It's my greed that encourages me to over tip during the pandemic? It's my greed that causes me to support a $15/hr minimum wage? Hm. Is greed pro-social? Has Wall Street become a socialist institution? "I have no idea what's goin' on."
