Why couldn't those highly skilled workers do something more useful? Like build a fishing boat, research vessel, or hospital ship?

  Because Amazon avoids taxes so there isn't money for those things.

    Half the battle, I think. Taxes only do so much good when we spend them on things which are just as useless. New guns for the Navy aren't an improvement of a super yacht in my book.

      That's a separate problem.

  Because we don't live in a planned economy where people are assigned their profession based on usefulness as determined by some committee.
