What would you do with a million dollars?

I'd buy a new license for asshole.exe because mine is cracked.

Oh no, what can I do to clean my crack hole?

Somehow it's not so funny when my anus actually gets hacked. ;_;

I think there should be a cap in material wealth. So e.g. if the average wealth in a given region is 50k, then the richest a person is allowed to be in that region is 500k. You start making more money? The surplus is going to be cut and given to the poorest people in the region. And if the average wealth rises to 100k, then you'll be able to have 1mil. That would limit the rich people's wealth and influence, but it would not destroy their greed and desire to get richer. Instead, that greed and desire would be put to improving the wealth of the whole society. It would only be possible to get richer when the society as a whole gets richer.

What language is that? Do you speak English, foreigner?

Think about what money is.

Then think about how stupid what you said is.

Money is a fictional energy or substance used to denote imaginary wealth in order to account for transactions of material wealth and services.

English "money"...

This feels loaded, but it's not like there's much at stake if I say something.

Like, capitalist fuel in modern capitalist cultural engines.

In these "capitalist cultural engines", someone might have some computer with Internet without "handling" this fuel, but it flows all around them.

Money is a blessed commodity (like a blessed Git repository) in a distributed economizing system. It can be said to be (but is not really) a global ordering of other commodities.

You can have centralized economizing systems, but they usually suck.

Restricting the accumulation of the blessed commodity would simply reduce the amount of other commodities it could purchase per unit. It may even give rise to another blessed commodity.

What's "blessed"? Are you a perl crackhead? What's a distributed economizing system?

distributed capitalism is so much better than centralized capitalism, have some extrapolation from programming
