Totally puzzled at how people just throw money at frippery, but our culture is totally focused on that. We throw unfathomable amounts of money at totally disposable things, and I find that bewilderingly amusing. Consumer Capitalism V. 12.0 at work, I guess.
The love and use of money in the world today is a cause of a lot of bullshit, sure, and there are bigger fish to fry in the poison in the money system, but it still really irks me to see things society doesn't need get money thrown at it in droves, but the things we do need in society, it seems nobody really cares for, or pays poorly. Nobody should be making $18,000,000 in a single day unless they're changing the world or making a cure to a major illness. The stuff that keeps civilized life possible for most of us probably doesn't even make 1/16th of that money in a single day compared to such things, which as I said before, can vanish overnight and the world/society wouldn't be in trouble and have to change things. If anything, it just highlights another absurdity in a money-centered society, and there's a lot of absurdities to see if one just gazes at the scenery for a moment.
