    yeah but money has diminishing returns in utility. It's one of the inefficiencies of capitalism we don't talk about much because it's by far the least sympathetic one

    capitalists don't actually get all that much out of their relentless extraction past a certain point. Their exploitation unlike a feudal lord is not limited to merely what they can actually use and or enjoy

    they're just taking surplus value to take it. Jeff Bezos for example cannot in any meaningful way experience the diference between Amazon profits with people allowed to take bathroom breaks or forced to pee in bottles

      It's something I've never understood. Like, if I ever got to the point where I personally had millions of dollars, I'd just immediately retire and enjoy being able to do whatever I want for the rest of my life.
