The talking heads keeps spewing that economic theory as reasons why the
things _I_ want/need cost more so I just applied the same "logic" to the
powers that be acquisition of my knowledge and effort. Seems fair. The more
hobbies I have, the less time I have to work thus the more the boss needs
to pay to induce me to work for him.  : D
