A person's time and experience seems to be a concept that does not equal to anything for some folks out there. I was asked to 3D print an object, it was about a size of a large soda can. I quoted 15€ and was told the filament for the item would just cost couple of euros so my quote was a ripoff.
Damn, I really need to take this argument to the next taxi trip I make. I mean if the vehicle burns two liters of gas during the trip, one would expect the cost of the trip being current price for gas for two liters, right? Otherwise they'd be ripping me off, the fuckers!
