Yeah the market solves the problem by sending poor people to risk their own lives to commemorate the way the first person died.

Just because The Market is making it happen doesn't make it any less detestable.

I guess that depends on whether you think a choice between poverty and dangerous work is worse or better than poverty without a choice. Personally, I'm not a fan of slavery or poverty, so I tend to prefer market-based solutions to problems.
