To the ridiculously rich money becomes nothing more than a tool you use to throw at problems. The more of that tool you have the bigger the problems you can subdue under a pile of cash. That’s why those people have an insatiable appetite for more and more money. Once you understand this concept other things start to fall into place. For instance the ridiculously rich’s propensity for throwing millions of dollars at the opportunity to protect billions and trillions in profits. Money circulating in an economy is life to us, to them it’s just wasted resources that could be hoarded for the future. The problem with their concept of money is in how short sighted their goals really are. Those of you who see money as a means of survival understand that we all need to move forward or none of us will. The short sighted rich think there will always be a planet and people to serve them, even though they take no precautions to preserve either.
