im not saying that these things dont have value…to us …as individuals…just that they have no commerial value,just like i cannot price what it is to have sex with my wife.
sure we could contract out that servive. i could be paying escorts to have sex with me.
but that’s kind of ridcuolus right, to say my wife is producing a dolalr value equivalent of what the escort would ahve been paid?
that that is a form of “savings”
to say that this work is not “valued” because we don’t put a price on it is, in my view, kind of missing the point.
this is personal life.
it’s not a markeptlace.
it is based on irrational love an d affection.
sure it’s a shitty deal. love is a shitty deal for everyone involved.
it’s nuts!
it’s not subject to rational whims and efficient pricing.
