  Yup, there was that post a while back, like you reach a billion, you get a plaque that says “congrats you won capitalism” and then they start at 0 again

    Not even a billion, as soon as you’re in 8 figures you have more than a reasonable person can spend in a lifetime. Cap it at 50 million, every cent more goes towards public infrastructure and welfare

    Or we could do away with capitalism entirely. Just saying

      Capitalism does have some uses, like which TV you want to buy, but it needs to be heavily regulated.

        People can still make TVs without capitalism…
