Another ridiculous assertion made by someone who clearly has never had to meet a budget, you should do government work. Under your reasoning..I hate to even call it that, I should buy a 700 dollar drill for piddly little jobs around the house even though a 60 dollar cordless drill will do the job. Brilliant. Then of course you go off on some tangent, again shocking. Sorry to burst your bubble, you have clearly never had to do any kind of manual labor...but a ten dollar hammer is doing to do just fine if I'm driving a nail in to hang a photo. Course you will get that 500 dollar pentagon special hammer for the job. I know this kind of thinking takes common sense, so I invite you to try asking a neighbor if you need help.
There is also no excuse for accepting a 500 dollar price tag for a job that should cost 5 dollars.
