Seriously though, why do they need more money?

It’s not the money it’s the relative power over the 99% they desire

I get that people want more money but what I have never understood is why after a certain point they don't just say "You know what? I think I have enough money to last a few generations. I think I'll just quit and enough my money now."

If I had 1 million dollars I would still feel the need to work. If I had 10 I would relax but still keep working some while my money gains interest. If I had 100 million I would fuck off to a nice house and build wacky shit for fun. At a certain point I would feel like I don't need to do anything else but other people need 40 billion instead of just 30 and I can't understand why.

It's not just money. It's power. Although I guess those two are almost the same thing st this point.

Impose tariffs that harm rural/red areas more. Those areas go bankrupt. Business owners are forced to sell. The rich oligarchs that have more money than God buy up all of the bankrupt areas.
