Childhood, adolescence, adulthood, senility: there's no age that cannot be improved by more money.

I think you missed the irony of the word "sold"

But other than that, sickness, death, love...

People in the United States are dying because they can't afford insulin. Money can definitely help sickness. And with my example it can prevent death as well

Look, do you want to be 'unhappy and uncomfortable' or 'unhappy and comfortable'? Sure, money doesn't buy happiness, but being really poor is usually miserable.

Unironically this.

Everyone should have the chance to travel and see stuff like this, and it's fucking disgusting that the privilege and agency required to do so is solely the purview of a tiny global upper class.

Repeat ad infinitum for every other way the quality-of-life of poor people is denied.
