"it takes every kinda people To make what life's about" - Robert Palmer. Sure, it's in poor taste while there are more humane ways to spend one's capital. I don't know, maybe cleaning up the oil-polluted shores of Nigeria [1] (which if you drive a car or take a bus is all of our fault). However, while I don't care for the imbalance, I do find these eccentric expenditures by billionaires as having value for human kind - I view it as a form of art. If you think the Hearst estate is crazy nonsense - get a load of the Winchester house (2), which percolates my imagination while at the same time makes me shake my head. This stuff adds a level of whimsical fantasy to life that is tangible, and it stretches the bounds of what we previously (as a species) deemed imrpobable if not impossible. I'm not asshamed to say I enjoy this facet of the stained glass window of life. I'm not saying your feelings are right or wrong, I'm just posing another perspective that may help find the silver lining. For better or worse, the fabric of life takes every kind of people, and I happen to tend to think there is a little more good in this stuff than bad. 1. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2019/dec/06/this-place-used-to-be-green-the-brutal-impact-of-oil-in-the-niger-delta https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2019/dec/06/t... 2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_Mystery_House https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_Mystery_House
