Uh...so you are saying that we should not buy any astro equipment.

Wouldn't that drive vendors and manufacturers out of business?

TMT

Do they have a greater right to survival than any other branch of
luxury goods business in these difficult times?

If someone buys a new telescope, then some worker, somewhere, was paid
something to build it. IE, they have a job.

Does the billionaire who "loses everything on a stock market crash"
deserve more than a worker who loses his job to outsourcing?

Deserve more of what?

Don't laborers in developing countries need jobs too?

Does the contrast in lifestyles make any real difference?

Does the billionaire really need a priceless, antique chair to rest
his weary bones?

Very likely the billionaire paid someone a high price for that antique
chair. The former owner then had a tidy sum of money with which to
pay off a mortgage, save for retirement or send a child through
college. Or start a business that might provide a few jobs.

While the labourer needs only a rough crate on the floor of his hovel?

The billionaire isn't spending all of his money on antiques, he is
investing it in businesses that provide jobs for laborers, assuming
that his country isn't making that behavior unprofitable because of
high taxes and excessive regulations.
