Somehow I don't think choosing between money and lives is a problem for that guy in any way whatsoever. The fact that the money would probably be salvageable even if the trolley hit it makes it even worse.

Yeah but it would be all scattered around and stuff. Some horrible poor person might try to pick some of it up. We certainly wouldn't want that.

A lot of capitalists regularly make that choice, and they choose money.

Be it warmonger sharks, heads of private militaries and military manufacturers, or, idk, Nestle executives.
