If air is so valuable to you, why don't you pay premium for it? Not that it's comparable to books, but it has the same presupposition as your question.
Similarly, wholesale used books are cheap because they are extremely common and not scarce.
Why should anyone take your personal idiosyncratic definition of value seriously, especially when it leads to absurd consequences? The simplest explanation here is that you have just not expended the effort to think things through.
so that they get more value out of their $$$...or else feel free to part all your cash on the newest piece of shit. I don't really care. An idiot and his money is soon parted. Tale as old as time. Suit yourselves...
I'm kind of surprised we aren't hearing that as an argument against burning fossil fuels, actually.
