1.) Broken Window fallacy.....three problems with the "it's stimulating statement"
1. didn't choose the roof to begin with
2. lose value of the resources that go into making the roof
3. if roofer was unemployed, then we take away the opportunity for him to take another job
2.) Jobs are not a benefit, they're a cost. You have to give up a lot of your time to do something that's not always the most appealing.
3.) Marginal cost.... water/diamond paradox. Diamonds have a much higher marginal value than does water because they're much more scarce. Marginal cost - the change in cost by taking an action
