If you don't value the thing for it's intended function why are you bothering to take one?

Also, if you destroy or misplace the thing, there's no reason to give you different things. If you want another thing, you are going to be made to work for it.

There's always a bellows that needs pumping.

That's beside the point, the point is that I don't borrow things because I like to have the ability to use them however I want and according to my current needs.

I have a paint can that I can't get open, but I own a flathead screwdriver. It's not the intended purpose of a flathead screwdriver, but I can use it as a prybar to open the paint can, if the screwdriver breaks, now I have 2 pieces of metal to use for something else.

I don't mind working, but I would like to work for a currency that I can use to buy things that I will own and see to use however I see fit for it to be used.

Ok man. The use of money does indeed enable you to be a loner misanthrope that is ambivalent about your reputation.

Other "social" systems rely on being "social"
