... sidenote; I personally think that something completely inefficient "is not that bad". Much worse is work that is directly detrimental for society as a whole, even if it does make a few people rich. Now that is terrible.

They then buy food, housing, medical, transportation, fuel, entertainment, (optionally) raise kids, by things kids want, take vacations, have hobbies They're still most likely a net positive to the economy.
