It's a weird kinda greed and it's not capitalism as I understand it (given my 
ignorance). If *that's* greed, then I guess we're all greedy. It's my greed 
that makes me want all the homeless to be housed? It's my greed that encourages 
me to over tip during the pandemic? It's my greed that causes me to support a 
$15/hr minimum wage? Hm. Is greed pro-social? Has Wall Street become a 
socialist institution? "I have no idea what's goin' on."
