The fact that it's stupid and inefficient is irrelevant when it's successful. It actually works, and just asking for money doesn't work. Human beings are not logical.

@barbecue Your "successful" bar is too low. It's not about "the project worked as designed". It's not even about gross dollars pried out of marks. It's about net dollars as ratioed against costs, time and political capital spent! It's like those people who labor to sell things on eBay or Amazon Marketplace, and when all the hours and costs are counted, they have paid themselves prison wages. What else could he have done with his time?

You seem to think human beings are logical and rational. That's just not true.
