I've heard it said before that "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal." Unfortunately their grandfather ruined the lives of enough people to make a gorillion dollars, so it's a messy situation. Who gets the money, the kid? That's not equal opportunity! The government? What we need is to dissolve the dangerous power of that forturne and return it to all of us. Leaving it with the kid and just hoping he won't commit the atrocities of his guardians is... not what I'd call ideal.

Society can handle a little evil. A few rich kids who wield enough power from their inheritance to get away with murder. But it's been accelerating without limit ever since the colonial era. Ever since international currency standards really. Money itself is just too exploitable. I want something that lets us get around being dependent on dollars when bankers print an infinite supply of them. Maybe start by getting to know the people on my block. Friendship is... one alternative to money that might help. That's why they make it so hard to make friends.
