Do people count their own time as labour now? This sounds like Corporations tricking you into buying their stuff since it is "cheaper" than Free somehow.

Like my half hour bath coat me $25 in washing myself? Should I outsource my bathing?

I get your meaning but at some point it is reasonable to take your own unpaid work into account.

My dad sometimes brags how he is able to save like 4€ on a grocery bag by going to a bunch of stores to compare prices and then going back to them to buy just the best deals. I mean that's great but it takes several hours to do so, so if he had spent an hour working instead he would have made up for it. Chasing deals is like an extremely low-paying job.

everyone should because i assure you anyone with any possible control over your life surely does

also if your only take away is buy food from a corporation you missed the actual point of my comment
