          'But Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or naked or sick or as a homeless guy tied to the tracks, and did not minister to you?’

      I one day hope to be a rich man, so I must justify becoming one in a society that is increasingly aware of both the problems of extreme wealth discrepancy, and the actual lack of contributions made to society by said rich people

      Oh yeah and the homeless people are the real leeches

      you might think a social and economic revolution is necessary to create a society which allows for the flourishing of all humankind, but if you look at my simulation where i've set $COMMUNISM_WORKS = False you'll see that that's absurd
