Society: Oh shit, guess you’ll be a forever renter having your empathy manipulated into forcing you to buy your student’s school supplies.
“I want to run a hedge fund and send letters to the companies I own pressuring them to destroy their business model by giving their product/service improvement and employee bonus money to meeeee, and also fire the workers that made them so profitable for a short term stock bump, also for meeeeee!”
Society: get this man a private jet.
Our society lives in service to our economy, the opposite of the entire point of an economy. Our economy should tax and punish attempts at selfishness, and reward pro-social vocations that help society. No hope of that until collapse, but its sad to watch.
“I want to educate the next generation!”
