You want to free up your time so you can work more?

Circular logic is quite efficient but also cheating.

I have a stretch of road I travel where the lights are timed for 20mph. People continue to speed up to each light. I coast along at 20mph through all the lights.
So this wonderful efficiency enhancing tool really only works if everyone else uses it as well? That seems like quite a major flaw to me.

I got the call to bring my car in soon and had no time to go home.
I placed multiple orders of $50, used the $20 online coupon each time, and did in-store pick-up. I got $200 worth of stuff for $120, they had my stuff waiting, I paid, and rolled on to the shop.
Congrats, sounds like a good deal.
How much did the phone cost for that month?

Your inability to grasp this simple concept makes either incredibly dumb or just thick. Great book knowledge but without a shred of common sense.
Let's make this simple.
You sell a product/service.
As more people buy the product/sign up for the service, your supply chain should become more efficient, hence cheaper.
Your income expands because your customer base grows but the cost to the individual goes down because of economy of scale.
Presumably, this is exactly how your phone bill works.
You get free text (which costs the provider nothing anyway), unlimited data and decreasing hardware costs because that is how capitalism says the system is supposed to work.
We (as in "we the people") grant licensing rights to the airwaves we own, to corporations who promise "X" level of service at "Y" level of cost.
The very concept of efficiency you're so enamored with says that the level of service should be increasing and the cost should be decreasing.
Is this in fact so?
What would happen if you turned the phone off for a week?
Who would be most inconvenienced by that?
Hoi, you posted all of that cuz you don't understand the logic of missing heaps of traffic and the missus can zip a grocery list instantly to me (among a host of other things) while I'm out?
Oh snap! This is getting pathetic.
If sending message by raven works for you, kewel. Obviously you do what works for you and fits your budget.

Did you know that in China the family of an executed prisoner must pay for the bullet that kills him?
I wonder if they're as grateful as you.

Lining them up and knocking them down or in this case maybe Down's.

Subtle reference to mongoloids? Faaaantastical.
