the snake-oil or panacea salesman of the wild west was a thief, getting money for nothing - putting some cheap ingredients together & giving it a big puff with every verbal trick of a slick fasttalking mouth - maybe arranging phoney cures to boost sales
the question the customer shd ask is: what are the cost of ingredients? the size of the benefit is irrelevant - if it of huge benefit, but only costs little, price shd be little - price shd be cost of ingredients & seller's labour costs, travel costs & other overheads, etc
is it the same with superwealth? - [except that we sell it to ourselves?] & thus cause superpoverty, superviolence, danger to ourselves, global unfraternity [unfriendliness, hatred], superoverpay, superoverpower [tyranny, warmongering, grunt deaths, cannonfoddering of the ppl, danger, above-law-ness, govt corruption, govt lying & hiding nefariousnesses, bureaucracy, undemocracy, unliberty, state terrorism, problems, evils, state crime, terrorism, unsafety]?
