I'm just saying, as a voluntary redistribution from rich trillionaires to postal worker/Bastiat window-repairsmen, it's not a complete societal waste.
Of course, I'm under no delusion that it's value-add etc, but a) compared to Applebaum's hypothetical of funding Medicare, it's definitely less bad and b) it's not a burn-trash-in-the-yard waste
