You're joking right?

No. I am not. If someone has money, they can do whatever they want with it. Some rando on the internet telling someone else they shouldn't do something because they don't agree with it is the joke. There's a difference between opining on how public policy is applied, but telling a private individual what they can do is just asinine. I totally realized that this is arguing with a fence post level of conversation, as the internet is the one place to be guaranteed that logic need not apply
