Capitalism enables the unethical. As someone that has owned my own business with employees twice: it is easy to get rich; simply have no ethics. My last apprentice still owns his house all these years later. At one fork in the road of his life, that was a choice I made. The best business decision was to do the opposite, but in this instance I had ethics that stopped me. Every person with abnormal wealth is at the head of a wake of destruction. Most know what they have done; the rest are egregiously inept or diluted.
There are a lot of good ones on that list. Eating out frequently, for example, is super expensive compared to cooking at home. Lottery tickets are also a waste of money.
Hell, some of them like impulse shopping directly contribute to capitalism.

It's still a stupid picture (the original) for being so reductive.
