ED: Five downmods? Okay. If so-and-so wants a product that costs 50 dollars, and his time is worth 30/dollars an hour, then it doesn't make sense for him to spend 2 hours remaking it. If his time is worth 20/hour, then it does make sense. What part of this is offensive? The Math 101 or the Econ 101?
Chances are he gets paid a salary, so working on this project would not reduce his income. Considering his skill set, he is better off working on this, so he can spend the $50 on something which would take him longer to build, for example a toaster.
Do they cover specialization of labour in Econ 101 still?
Hey, I can code this one in two hours. Definitely not worth the price.
