checks under the hood
Where’d you, uh… where’d you get all that compound interest on your investments from?

One of them is a self-employed pentester, they’re very good at it. Pure income. The others are soft devs with their own product.
You can always move the goal post and say their clients are exploiting their employees, but we can keep moving it even further and claim that anyone who lives under capitalism exploits someone else down the line.

You’ve started with the premise that making money is evil, and are working backward from there.
“Oh no, you invested in index funds!!!” - yeah, so does everybody via their 401k or pension.
“Oh no, the work you did had any negative impact at all!!!” - thats basically every job. Communist agitators pollute the environment by driving cars to protests, and vegans kill field mice in their fields of soybeans. There are plenty of ways to make money that make the world better on net.

The monetary system is a miserable way to justify homelessness, neglect, and poverty, sure.
The fact that you can’t imagine a job that improves the lives if your friends and neighbors is kinda bleak.

You seem to be acting intentionally dense to avoid changing your mind, so I’m going to stop responding.
