>...Anyway - I still want these services, but I think this nation needs a rude awakening on how much shit should cost.

What I mean is that I think that everything is overpriced.

While the market seems to support current costs - I also think that costs are out of balance with value. For example, when I look for freelancers both programmers and designers - it appears that every single freelancer believes their value to be ~$200K per year, i.e. they are all asking for $100 per hour or more.

While I think that there are a lot of talented designers and programmers/developers out there, I am skeptical that EVERY one of them is worth 200K.

I also think that a lot of menial tasks seem to be overpriced.

Most task rabbits seem to want $20+ per hour, I just dont think that errands and what-not really are valued at $20 per hour, even though everyone seems to want to be paid that.

I think this is a symptom of everything being too expensive, from food to services.

I think the task rabbit price drops when the density of task rabbits is high enough in a locale to make the marginal cost drop. If I am right you should see this happen for certain tasks that don't make people deviate much from their ordinary course. Data gathering while shopping, for example, should be cheaper than delivering furniture.
