I wanted more information so I found the article that goes with this cartoon: https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/getting-a-piece-of-the-american-pie-is-out-of-reach-for-most/
And I agree with what you say about money; the trick I believe is that we'd have to stop using money altogether, meaning we have to start looking at alternatives.

@murdoc@autistics.life I think there’s a way without eliminating the use of money. The role of government is regulation. We can already see unfettered capitalism will kill us and the planet. If government made all elections publicly funded and banned all donations over $1,000 contributions by individuals, outlawed PACs, and SuperPACs, and don’t allow outside spending then politicians would have to answer to their constituents. But getting there from here is the hard part. We are so deep in the corruption, it’s hard to see a way out.
