They'd wish success for themselves and their friends and that would include lots of money
I will bet that your friends definition of "lots of money" would not have nine zeroes.
In fact, I'll bet that if you really gave your friends one with, at most it would be $7-10 million. When I'm talking about the "upper bounds" I'm talking about something much larger than that.
"Think about how capitalism is supposed to work. Think about how companies have been financed for centuries. Many great things were done before we reached this deleterious level of concentrated wealth."
I understand raising the lower bound, but why do we have to lower the upper bound? What good does it do us for people to be capped in how well they do? Rather, I find this is likely to be deleterious for society, because without some accumulation of capital, there can't be people who build anything great, like Elon Musk.
You assume that if Elon Musk had half as much money he wouldn't be able to do anything "great".

Leonardo Da Vinci was leaps and bounds above and beyond most people of his time, should his time have been spent on collectivism, volunteering maybe somehow to increase the outcomes of others rather than doing the maximum he could with his own abilities?
You could have checked this before posting:
Leonardo Da Vinci was born poor and died poor. Whereas church leaders and royalty that he worked for had limitless greed and didn't do a goddamn thing for anyone. Yet, whose contributions to society are remembered today?
Next time you post, you should take a moment to consider whether or not your brainstorm shits all over your argument.
There should be nothing of the sort and there is nothing of the sort. Ability to save more and more is the ability to invest more and more into things that people desire and people's desires are limitless. You lack imagination but not everybody else does. Living a longer and a healthier life is a desire of humans, to achieve that the expense is overwhelming by today's standard. To be able to prolong life by tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, trillions of years is impossible today, the expense is overwhelming. To learn more about every part of the universe the expense is overwhelming today. You clearly do not understand or see the link between production and savings and between gaining new physical abilities and knowledge. Not everybody is as blind as you are.
I would say that if you believe that people's "limitless" desires are limited to material possessions, then you are the one who lacks imagination.
And how do you know that we haven't reached a situation where in order for those with "limitless" desire for wealth to achieve that wealth, it will require a lifting of the bottom boundary of wealth? I believe that when you pass a certain level of income disparity, the entire system goes into a chaotic cycle and then nobody has better outcomes.
Maybe the best way for you to achieve your boundless desires are to make sure there's a high floor.
The knocking sound means that your system is low on hard drive oil.
The guy from Geek Squad told me it was because I was using an unleaded power strip. He said they're better for the environment, but really mess up computer performance.
Can someone explain, vaguely, possibly with a car analogy, how they go about determining keys with coil whine?
OK, imagine a '63 Bel Air with hydraulic suspension and a horn that plays "La Cucaracha". It is traveling from Modesto to the Reservoir at exactly 48mph. Now imagine a 2006 Mercedes G-Class with extra-large wheels and spinning hubs that is booming some old-school NWA. It is traveling from Oakland to the Reservoir at exactly 52 mph.
If someone had a listening device installed in both cars, the probability that the phrase, "You know, that Donald Trump makes some good points" would be heard approaches zero.
Apparently, we don't. The M1 money supply historically moves independently of inflation. You can increase the former without increasing the latter when you have a fiat reserve currency.
Take a look at rich people, their mansions and vacations and other extravaganza. I very much doubt there's any real upper bound on what people want.
They'll just have to adapt, like the rest of us. Because there ARE bounds, upper and lower, and we need to start paying more attention to raising the lower bound and lowering the upper bound, even just a little.
If the site(s) knew something, then yes, they should have some accountability. In this regard, it should be treated similarly as someone who had participated/facilitate, unknowingly or not, in money laundering - the law won't care about actual intent/claimed innocence, only about the facts.
This is the truth. Frontier's sub-DSL speeds and frequent outages make data caps unnecessary, because none of their customers could ever hit those caps.
I sort people by their tattoos all the time. If you have a cute tramp stamp on your hip, like a butterfly or a unicorn, you go to the head of the line. If you've got "Born To Raise Hell" blazoned across your back, you go to the end of the line.
If you have a tattoo of the face of any human, living or dead, anywhere on your body, please step out of line and walk into the sea, because no matter what you think, it doesn't look like them one bit. Instead, it looks like Cliff Howard (unless it's supposed to be a tattoo of Cliff Howard, in which case it looks like a smeared Bazooka Joe).
Wait, I think you may be onto something here. How about a VisaPay cock ring? Kills two birds with one stone. Keeps you tumescent and let's you breeze through checkout! You just have to bump your junk at the kiosk. Maybe a VisaPay Prince Albert?
For women, they could make a VisaPay IUD.
Visa, you can contact me if you're interested in my concept. Actually, it's probably better than you don't contact me. Just go ahead and use them.

I'm not that stupid. My dog's actual name is "B4ND1T".

I just use my dog's name. Fortunately, I named my dog, "x:65=;V@Y|Dg#OdJ!T"

Tell that to the guys that built the Tower of Babylon.
Of course there should be upper bounds on people's greed.

Especially since that loud knocking my hard drive's been making for the past week would totally drown out the coil whine.
I'm hoping that knocking sound goes away. Sometimes these things fix themselves, you know?

I hope that clears it up.

You need to get out more. Altruism is quite common.

That's what's being alleged in this case.
The prosecution rests.

No. Anybody who doesn't know the name of the show isn't worth knowing.
It's OK, I've had all my shots.
That's totally insaney.

Apple already holds the patents on a similar product for male prostitutes.

There's a nifty Chrome extension for that. It's called "FB Purity".
