    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.

      thats basically every job.

      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.
