Why do people on reddit always act like spending money deletes it? I bet he pays a lot of people to build that.

Cuz most people on Reddit are young and stupid. And they’re not even considering the revenue it will generate when people pay to come see it or where ever it ends up will bring people to that location and generate all kinds of good things.

People just don't seem to get how economies work.
