    Bug infestations of your house sometimes reoccur as well. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t exterminate them though. You just got to keep doing periodically. That’s part of Home Maintenance. Exterminating billionaires periodically is part of society maintenance.

      If infestations are the analogy we are using, I’d use mold infestation as an example.

      When you get black mold on your wall, what do you do? Do you replace the drywall and wait until it comes back to replace the drywall again, or do you figure out what is causing the mold (ie. The source of the moisture) so you can get rid of it for good?

      Like yeah sure replacing the drywall will make it look nice, but it won’t be long before it comes back with a vengeance because the cause never left.

      Expecting later generations to follow our rules is how we got here.

        I think its simply adorable that you think human greed can be “fixed”. But no, like some bug infestations there are times when shit goes bad and you have to deal with it periodically. There are not always magical one time solutions to everything.

            You think greed is not inherent? That is a hell of an opinion. Truly difficult to Fathom how you came to it. Considering there are just mountains of evidence otherwise.

            The overall problem is human nature. Greed is part of that nature and has been so for millennium. That’s simply undeniable. Through the Ages through every human society through every human economic system it rears its ugly head every time. It’s not new. It’s not specific to the current world. Denying that is simply childish. Thinking you can fix that is simply childish.

            Some things take constant work and constant vigilance to fight. Magic solutions don’t exist. Any system you create that doesn’t account for these factors and doesn’t have consistent safeguards is destined to fail.
