    Capitalism supports making the most money, not progress

    Someone who invents a way to make money off pacific garbage patch tours will do a lot better than the person who figures out how to get rid of it

      Exactly. If someone did that, investors would take notice and want to get in on the spoils, taking money out out of the housing market in the process.

      But it’s telling that not one person was able to come up with something they are working on.

        I can’t comment on my own investment pitches because that would be biased. Obviously everyone thinks that their idea is good, however I will say that I was told to come back after having a commercial success and I’ve never heard of an angel investing in a pitch that guarantees to lose them money for the benefit of others

          Nobody is talking about investment pitches. It was asked what people are working on.

          Clearly the answer is nothing.
