Comment on Money doesn't solve everything, but it helps.

Sure, it’s easy to waste a milion and it won’t fix all my demons. But it’d take most of my stressors away instantly.

The problem is if you get a million bucks, and everybody else gets a million bucks, demand for goods and services would skyrocket, taking prices with it. Essentially everything would get more expensive. Your rent would go up. A lot. Now, if only you got a million bucks, then, yeah, everything you said would apply, but while that would fix your problems, everyone else would be left in the lurch.

this post is talking about “your” problems. Not society’s problems. Societal fixes need to be more subtle than “give everyone a million dollars”. But giving one person 10k dollars can be life changing money.
We separate the two fields for a reason.
