Stick your nose back into your computer, you know nothing about the world outside the basement.

I know that your house was built cheap. Because you and your construction workers don't afford the goodies doesn't mean I'm wrong. And for all I know all your construction workers were just beneath retirement age, and it could all be an undying in-grained habit and nothing to do with real usefulness.

"I didn't say understand, but know"

The two seems synonymous to me...if I understand 'it', I know 'it'.

"I neither said anything about "resource management"

No, I did because that's what it amounts to...real time assessments of what a person consumes, what a person has, and what a person potentially needs, is all about the management (control) of available and potentially available resources...I call it what it is; you choose to muddy the waters with euphemisms (which, of course, is what happens when, again, folks intend to control or make a profit...that is: the obfuscation of what should be open and direct...congrats, Voice, there may be a place on the politburo for you after all).

You really don't know anything and now you're grasping at straws to cover your pathetically stupid posts. Just to be clear I've had enough of your ignorance on this forum, Bye.

Voice,

As I suggested up thread: don't take my (or any one's) word for it...research it (the value of the hammer in the modern world) yourself.
