The labor theory of value has nothing to do with collecting profits and isn't concerned with who gets it. It argues that the economic value of a good or service is determined by the total amount of "socially necessary labor"

It's never true. It's like a broken clock - it's right 2 times a day. When the conditions are exactly correct, it seems like the labor theory of value is true - but it's not. Consider a simple example - food production

Ah, okay, that makes more sense. Sorry I misunderstood. This is not really something applicable to my line of work (standard software development tasks on a larger project in an agile team managed by the client) but I can imagine some of my

So you're saying they wrote exactly the same program in Go and Rust for the comparison, changing the syntax only? Well then it's no surprise the Go version was faster. Don't write Rust as if it was Go. That doesn't say a

If they paid 5x the normal price of toilet paper and they were picking it up in the middle of a desert then yes I'd assume there's something shady going on.
