True, but this was in kandahar, I expect not much as changed....Except perhaps the selection.

Used to be? As late as 2011 I saw entire businesses dedicated to selling pirated movies.

True, or you could enjoy the commute, in which case is a double win.

But yea, money is basically time debt owed to you by society, so if spending money to get time, it balances out. Kinda like how spending money on assets doesnt directly affect net worth.

That everything I buy can be measured as totalCost/wages*0.82=hoursCost.

I love measuring things in hours.

Let's assume I make 12/hr. Is 24 cans of soda really worth more (taxes) than an hour of work? 12 bucks might not sound too bad, but over an hours wages does.
