The Love of Money

[Adam Strange]

I was talking to a woman whom I like and said that she should meet my friend.
I said, "He just bought three rental houses on a corner (total of 19 renters) and is going to knock the houses down and build an apartment complex which can rent to up to 75 people, which should net him a yearly profit of a few hundred thousand dollars even after he pays for the new mortgage" and she said "I hate him already."

I said, "What?"

She said, "Money grubbing bastard xzyxydbfber ddbud $#%% fg@*)9s s..snpth."
She went on like this for a while, but this was the gist of it.

So I know that some Quadras have a reputation for not caring about money (yeah, I'm talking to you, Alpha) and for holding personal honor above mercenary profits (that's you, Beta), but now I'm wondering just what it is that makes a person feel this way?

Is it some information element? Is it the weather? What the hell is it?
