I often think about all the different dynasties started with people who could sell shit that was addictive. I could make a million dollar business too if I were allowed to sneak heroin in my products and then turn the price up to 11 a year later. Think of all the generational wealth from cheating patents (Microsoft), human experiments (Bayer), and all the fucking terrible unethical shit cigarette companies, oil/gas companies, etc. do and get fucking LOADED with cash. Then they start getting subsidies out the ass and the full might of the US military behind them (another subsidy, only it kills a bunch of people). There's probably another sector of wealth that comes from killing indigenous people or hide a bunch of rape and murder to curry favor from someone who had backdoor access to tax dollars.
