What do expect them to say?It’s their business.
Lets make it easier for them
Consider what they did in a TV show from the 60’s. In a make believe world they realized money was the root of all greed. In this world the greed let to a economic crash that left the earth in ruins. They instead got rid of all money and worked for the common good exploring
the universe and establishing civilizations. Maybe its time to do the same…. Is money really needed……God created a world where everything we would ever need is before us. Water-Food-Land-Clean Air maybe what we all long for is already here, its just our greed that makes us blind.
It’s called communisim, and eliminated all chance for anyone to have any self worth, as they are working for a common good. By the way, that show did have money – just in a different form.
