I don't think you get it.
My time is important. Their time is important too. My time is more important to me, than theirs is. They expect me to turn up on time. I expect them to turn up on time.
I'm not talking of illness or A+E or general emergencies, but routine normal non-urgent checks. The people who do these are there solely for that task.
Your time may well be important to you but to the populous in general their time is far more important.
To the population at large 60mph is acceptable through a town. Doesn’t make it so.
Time is the one thing we cannot get more of, or spend twice.
Everybody’s time is as valuable as everyone else’s.
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way.No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse. There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.

If you think the population at large regard 60mph through a town(I'm assuming you mean a 30 limit) as acceptable you're sadly mistaken.
Everybody’s time is as valuable as everyone else’s - I disagree. As i've said in another thread I'm about to be made redundant - might even call it retirement. The value of my time to the nation will then be negative. I will be drawing on economic resources but doing nothing to justify my use of them.

As I said earlier - the economic value might not be as high, but the value of everyone’s time is equal.

If the value is lower then it is not of equal value is it?
If your only value is economic then you are valuing things badly

Human time has immeasurable value cf+ mere economics

Time gains economic value from what is done with that time. It's that activity that is valuable.

Tell me this then who's time is the most valuable - someone on the dole who spends his time watching TV or a nurse in an overstretched A&E doing her damndest to patch people up. If you think their time has the same value then it's you knows teh value of nothing.

Each has the value that they put on it.
And since Mick F was quite specific that he was NOT talking about A&E (several times), your obtuseness in bringing that up again as an example appears to me to deliberate: Trying to get a wind up here are you?

They are equally valuable.
Time is the only commodity we cannot acquire more of, we can only choose how to spend what we have, and we all have the same 168 hours a week.
