That only really applies if your time is free, OR you're actually enjoying it.
Your time is not free. In fact it's incredibly valuable. So why are you giving it away to corporations for pennies on the dollar? You could be getting 100% of the value of your time when you garden.
On the one hand that's true. On the other hand, I'm self employed and I loathe gardening.
That argument is nonsense for anyone who doesn't live at work.
It's the same argument you made earlier:
and here:
By using your own efforts you retain more of the value for yourself. When you work for others you get paid only a fraction of the value you produce. Ie, your time is more valuable than you are getting paid for.
You think I can just go to my workplace and sit on the clock whenever I want? No. There are hours when I cannot be at work. Those hours are not equivalent to work hours.
Also, WTF are you smoking? These arguments are nothing alike.
I'm sorry you weren't able to understand that simple point. But have a nice day!
You didn't make any point. You're here to troll.
You are apparently here to not read. I was literally agreeing with you.
Bye now.
Back to your bridge.
