The same goes with cars for most people as well. How much of your income does your toothbrush consume? How about your car? If the internet has taught me one thing it's how to recognize bad anologies. Apparently it's taught you badly; the internet is good at that. Percentage of time used is not a good metric for determining whether something makes economic sense or not. The toothbrush analogy shows that. -- Matthew T. Russotto "Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue." But extreme restriction of liberty in pursuit of a modicum of security is a very expensive vice. |
