Short YouTube monologue by Mike Andes arguing that money amplifies a person’s existing moral orientation: wealthy bad actors will do more harm, while wealthy good actors can scale their good deeds (claiming roughly a 100× magnification). The clip presents a normative claim emphasizing accumulation of wealth as a lever to help many more people.

Bad people making more money will do more bad things. And because of that, money gets a bad rap. The billionaires that screw people over and do bad things and all the rest of it, but good people with more money will simply magnify what they're currently doing. And that's why if you're trying to help one or two people now, you having a lot of money should be the focus because it'll magnify what you can do by a hundred X. Magnify helping more people 100%.
