She charges a fortune for her bags. She is generous to charity and her employees. She pays me well for the services I provide for her.
I hope she keeps selling to whoever want her bags and for as much money as she can get. She isn't hurting anyone and she makes a natural product while providing jobs for many happy people.
I think it's sort of sad that folks hate people who spend and make money. They aren't taking anything from you. You are being robbed blind by big banks and people who make and sell nothing tangible or even remotely useful.
