the parable of ‘money can’t buy you happiness’ plays out over and over in capitalist societies, yet no one ever learns their lesson from it.
psychedelic drugs taught me so many important lessons so long ago. i don’t know how these people (who claim to take the same drugs) never seem to ‘get it’.
They did a study and money can buy happiness but it caps out after the point it allows you chances to travel and take stress free time off. Being poor literally shortens people’s lives through misery.
So what we have is a man whom money will make as happy as he will ever get and remains miserable plunging people into a deficit of security through his actions. He’s infectiously miserable and someone needs to quarantine him.
This is why I advocate for a ‘band of wealth’, regarding the income and wealth of people. Everyone should get universal benefits that ensure survival and wellbeing, while money is for buying luxuries and lifestyle upgrades. Income and wealth obeys certain limits, to ensure no one obtains a level of money or resources beyond a certain point. It would be a bit arbitrary, but fiat money is already purely a thing based on belief. Might as well make a UBI economic system that leverages belief to make life better for every single person.

yeah, i usually say that its not money buying happiness, its lack of money causing unhappiness.
