If Alex makes $100M selling middle eastern despots tech to track and dismember journalists, Bob makes $100M with his new tech to inject adverts into our dreams, Charlie makes $100M by selling the taxpayer fighter jets that don't work and charging to fix them, Doris makes $100M by offering high-interest payday loans to desperate financially illiterate people, Eric makes $100M getting people addicted to his prescription opioids, Freya makes $100M by buying up property then paying politicians to block new construction, Grace makes $100M by getting a bailout from the government and spending it on exec bonuses, Harry makes $100M by running a for-profit prison that makes sure every inmate re-offends, Iris makes $100M by getting some chump venture capitalists to pay her that, and James makes $100M by persuading rich fools to pay that much for ape NFTs, why shouldn't we celebrate the fact James and Iris's actions are relatively less destructive than the others?
