Sometimes excessively rich people annoy the hell out of me. I hold no ill will what so ever towards their wealth, it's the freaking ######ed ideas they come up with to piss it away that bugs me. And I think the part that really bugs me is that deep down I know that they will somehow profit from this, likely by unconventional ways, ie money from national budgets.
There are millions of other things that could use the incredible effort and money that will be put into this ridiculous wet dream contrived by a pack of wankers.

I think this is exactly the sort of stuff these excessively rich people should be doing. They don't need to make more money and have more than they could possibly use, so why not put some of it towards long-term projects for the betterment of humanity rather than trying to use it to generate more short-term profits?
