besides spend it on frivolous shit like yachts and planes and stuff, there's no way it's all liquid. do they just park all their billions in a bunch of investment vehicles and wait for it to propagate itself? don't they get bored of just waiting and watching line go up?
so hellworld is just the natural state of things when altruism isn't profitable?
Well, what I just described is capitalism, so I wouldn't call it "natural" exactly. It's a socially constructed thing - no law of nature says people get to buy and sell votes on what people do with their labor, we just do it. And that puts the decision on what people do with their labor in the hands of people whose primary concern is the ability to get more money to buy more control over labor, which, yeah, doesn't line up with altruism very often.
