I also keep wondering, "What's the end game?" In other words, in Snowcrash fashion, Once you can ship North Dakota to Kajikistan for a nickel, all we have left is Music, Movies, Microcode and High Speed pizza delivery (with expensive colors on the boxes?).

Once we fill the world with crap, and nobody can breathe or find clean water, what's there going to be to sing about? Death?

There's got to be a better way for people to enjoy a life than to buy one from a king covered in shit. At what point does humanity start contributing more than it takes(buys)?
