Man, so interesting. Why do we have to pay those workers to build something that society needs? Is it because the workers need to eat? Why are the workers starving? Is it because the food they need is locked away in a hoard of wealth that only gets distributed by people who own the hoard? Why won't they just feed people? Oh they only feed people if it means they'll make a profit?

Hmm. How does a system this cruel stick around? What's that? 90% of the wealth of the world is owned by a vanishingly small number of people who will only deign to feed people if it makes them a profit?

Man. Real "imperfection" you got there. I'm sure we can fix it with some reforms though once we learn more about economics...
