I know the feeling. I worked as a gunsmith for a certain well-known ultra-luxury hunting rifle maker, and obscene is the word: we made 12 guns per year and that kept 15 people employed. Our cheapest shotgun sold for just under 100k. Our customers would come and buy those things as if they were cheap trinkets.

Yeah, it gave 15 people a job. But nothing of value was produced to society.
