to me this is a perfect example of how incredibly indifferent capitalism can be to creating value. no one is bad here, per se, but its useless as far as i can tell, and someone gets very very rich. nothing wrong with capitalism of course, but i feel the need to keep harping of the fact that it doesn't necessarily imply anything about value or desert.
