good and bad are moral terms

broken and fixed are neutral terms.

a car can be broken and repaired - sterile, those words speak nothing of motive

what you do with the car does and that’s what makes it moral.

our money drives from point a to b

that’s not “broken”

it’s the running over pedestrians part that we hate.

it’s absurd to say “oh no, that car driving over people is broken, we need to fix that car”

fix the car fix the world

yet that is exactly what we are doing with money

“broken” removes the human part from the equation
