If one has invested time in something, that is still an investment, even if cash was not spent.

Who is John Galt?
We are!
- Anonymous10 years agoJohn Galt is a plagiarized fictional character from one of the most over-rated authors of all time, a hero who used a socialistic tactic ( a labor strike) to protest socialism. Galt is clearly a rip off from Garet Garrett's The Driver, written decades before Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged. Its hero was Henry M. Galt, and yes, the same question was asked... Who is Henry M. Galt?
Neo cons love Ayn, but fail to recognize the obvious irony in having a supposedly conservative hero organize a labor strike...- Anonymous10 years ago

Randians cherry-pick her positions, glossing over things like her atheism and anti-religionism, opposition to police actions and foreign wars like Vietnam, her support of abortion rights, and her opposition to the death penalty. But then, there are plenty of things for conservatives to like about her. Like her monumental hypocrisy carried off with a glib self-satisfied smirk. I'm just glad she and William F. Buckley never had a love child, even though I think that was foretold in Revelations.Which reminds me again of that one Sim that keeps shouting at me to bulldoze the trees to make way for the machines. One more peep out of him, and I'm moving his building next to the garbage dump.
