Time is money? No! Money is time!

How much does it take to pay ... this or that?

Small educational video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdc60JgOdFg interesting even if we can discuss the figures announced ...

I also watched In Time (or Time Out) last week, an interesting concept where money is replaced by a stopwatch implanted in the arm: when it reaches 0, we die ...

Ivan Illitch had already pointed out that if we relate the speed of an automobile to the number of hours it mobilizes (no pun intended!) in terms of cost, it cannot exceed 5 km / h, that is a pedestrian!

Note that the two expressions are reversible but both have meaning only in a very specific historical context.

re,

I saw the interesting little film, even the end, believe me it costs a lot of funeral I took the steps for the cremation of my father, it is a lucrative business, and completely out of step when you talk money then that a loved one has just left you ...

and I'm not talking about medications, especially when you don't follow the so-called "traditional" path ...

I also watched "in time" two days ago, the analogy is actually quite nice, on the other hand the basic message, I did not like too much in the end ... but hey that's another story. ..
