But the profits! You've just slapped a yacht out of the mouth of a poor and hungry executive. How can you people live with yourselves? Will nobody think about the profits??

I take solace in the fact that the executive, in his/her grief, might now consider another part of the Aspen Proposal that suggests that all humans have the same suite of needs, shaped by our evolution. There are real and robust ways to meet those needs, and yachts isn't one of them.

The only needs that humans have is to serve capitalism. Work harder, peasants!
