I mean, on one hand, it's not meant to be an in-depth economic essay on the unfairness of modern capitalism, so there is an element of silliness to it.
On the other hand, it highlights the very real fact that labor and human life are horrendously undervalued by our current system, which expresses value in monetary terms, to the point where even a very small and relatively unimproved amount of land only slightly larger than a human being garners a higher price than actual human input that makes our society run on the most basic level.
