    Well they’re not as valuable because they didn’t have to be dug out the ground. The amount of work that goes into something is what makes it valueable. That’s why I only buy the toughest to reach diamonds from the most brutal mines in Africa, now those are valuable!

      Just realized that was satire, but anyway I already started writing so I’m posting it lol.

      Labor theory of value was outdated to centuries ago.

      Labor sets a minimum value when stuff is in demand, but without demand the value can be zero despite how much effort was put into it.

        Two* and no, sorry. It’s not my fault you don’t understand what socially necessary labor time is, and hence don’t understand LTV and have mistaken your own ignorance for an argument. You’ll never be a big boss top dog businessman like me with such a feeble understanding.
