What do you count as innocent? Like doesn't use products made in factories with human rights violations? I'm never gonna hit a million, but economists are saying we all need to have a Mil or three in order to retire? I know a couple million airs who seem like normal people, they're just business owners?

I mean there is no way to goss a million a year without directly and knowingly exploiting people on a daily basis.
