5. Making money off the sick is a sick idea.

And so is making money off the naked.

Or the cold.

Or the hungry.

Or the thirsty.

Or the stranded.

Or the stupid.

So clothiers, those who sell fuel or service furnaces or provide insulation or housing, or grow/produce food or beverages or transportation or involved in education shouldn't make money.

I'd argue that extends to their employees, because a lot of employees make a profit on their "investment" of time, training, education. What's the big difference between somebody who invests $100k to start a company and somebody who invests $100k in their education to start a practice?
