If time really was money, the school should be owing me money for all the time they wasted, what with vindictive economics teachers and other overzealous staff.
How in the world anybody could go on for like half an hour on "how to wear your pants v1.0" accompanied by a full-blown powerpoint presentation complete with face-censored models, senseless words and diagrams is beyond me. Not that I remembered much, since after the first 10 or so seconds everything was coming out of his mouth as "wah wah wah", proving the fact that he's about as entertaining as a tv set turned off and that it's almost as if he was a robot programmed with "piss protocol v 2.5" in mind.
And then there was violet who made us stay in school for two periods of nothingness while she happily lunched in the staff room, but I'm not going to go into that, after all from what I hear us innocent students are being scouted as potential rebels.

Cab fares have risen again, which proves itself to be a travesty.
On one side, you have the companies claiming to help their taxi drivers. With a daily rental of $96 and fuel costing something like $40 a day, they don't get to earn a whole lot, which is why raising prices looks like a bid to help their drivers.
On the other side, the obvious solution that benefits both drivers and passengers is to lower rent, but cab companies obviously won't want to screw themselves over, so the obvious solution is to exploit the general public for it, while simultaneously blaming rising oil prices for the rising cab fares.
However, anybody that uses 4% of his brains would realise that the government blaming rising prices on rising oil prices is jack. If I buy coffee for resale, and the price of coffee from plantations rose, and I sell at higher rates as well, that makes me a middleman. In a similar vein, the government buys oil, so they charge us extra when oil prices rise. I could be wrong here, but the role of a government probably should exceed that of a middleman.
In addition, you see a lot of companies blaming rising resource costs for the rise in price, but that's pretty much bs, because prices only go up and never down, even when resource prices drop. These are instead advertised as "sales" and "promotions", simply because the public pays for increase costs of production, but drops in production costs result in extra profits for the firm. That probably includes governments as well, since they had so much extra reserves they decided to feel guilty and give some back to the public in the form of a "progress package".
I'm not sure there's even a point to this post, I just felt extremely cheated when i took a cab ealier today. $2.50 + $2 peak hour surcharge is crazy.
