     JCT: Good suggestion. I know how you feel. Just as Time in 
a taxi remains inflation-free even though the federal currency it may 
not be related to inflates wildly, Time in human labor would remain 
inflation in the very same way. No one has yet taken up my suggestion 
to use Time at labor in the same way.
