    “Morbidly” doesn’t work in this context

      Why not?

      morbid /môr′bĭd/ adjective

      1. Given to or characterized by unwholesome thoughts or feelings, especially of death or disease.
        “read the account of the murder with a morbid interest.”
      2. Of, relating to, or caused by disease; pathological or diseased.
        “morbid changes in tissues.”
      3. Psychologically unhealthy or unwholesome.
        “a morbid fear of heights.”
      4. Not sound and healthful; induced by a diseased or abnormal condition; diseased; sickly.
        “a morbid condition; a morbid constitution; a morbid state of the juices of a plant.”
      5. Of or pertaining to disease or diseased parts.
        “morbid anatomy”

      Other than the fifth definition here, these all seem reasonable to me.

        The second one doesn’t really fit either I’d argue. Edit: good downvotes. It’s literally a medical definition. Smartasses.

      It is morbid for society. This is completely unsustainable.

      Wealth can be considered a disease. If you really want to get pissed off, Google “affluenza”
