Just as I was nodding along with some of the things you were saying we have to dip back into douche level.
How exactly am I being a douche for shooting down the arguments of those who think that economics of time does not matter? Any economist worth his salt would make the exact same calculation of the cost to society of wasting people's time.

Do you think the fact that people who fly First Class who get priority boarding -that means getting ahead of the line so you don't have to wait for the people in coach to stuff their bags in the overhead compartment is douchey? Do you think the fact that "priority" bags are first of the conveyor belt to save a couple of minutes is douchey? It's a basic economic principle that time starts to become more valuable as income rises. How does it make me a douche for pointing that out?
