All the money in the world doesn't give that man the authority to make this determination:

"God didn’t create the universe so that talented people would be happy,” he said. “It’s not beautiful. It’s hard work. It’s responsibility and deadlines, working till 11 o’clock at night when you want to watch your baby and be with your wife. It’s not serenity and beauty.”

Who is he to say that? Not everyone wants to kill themselves for money. There is no art in his world, no history. The man is a husk.

And all that crap about "engineers make coke cans more efficiently, and it benefits everyone" is bullshit too. They don't spin that savings into savings to the consumer, they charge the same price and keep the profit...meanwhile, they're buying less aluminum, so they're taking money from that industry too. Efficiency isn't always the best mode of operation. Look at sloths, they are slow as fuck, and have been around for 60 million years.
