The power of 21000 homes for advertising.

What's most impressive is that it is even legal.

I love this kind of shit. Building things for the sake of it is worth it. Not only as just expression, which may be hubris but it's still expression. Also entertainment, inspiration, pushing the art of engineering, and just giving people something to do, and all the good that comes with that like personal and trade growth.

A purely utilitarian life is a life only spent on survival. Not a life I want to live.

Sure but we’re burning tons of coal to have this thing advertise minion movies, not anything artistic or worthwhile.
