As for the Athlete making the $10. You keep speaking form both sides of
your mouth.

On one hand you keep lamenting the social decline then you see nothing
wrong when someone is paid $10 million to endorse athletic shoes.

That money is paid to promote a Synthetic Value. A value, that in itself
is the anti matter to al the Victorian values you keep lamenting.
