from economy point of view it goes without saying that time is money.
BUT why someone rich someone poor? Everyone has 24 hours, it is great fair.
The choice or we can say the opportunity cost each one takes is different.
Someone decided to set up berlin wall, then there must be someone going to break it up.
For the cross teardown case, if you think government has the right to tear it down, then government also has the right to excise your organ.
You are losing time arguing with them:
you are losing money... that's your choice, I don't stand with you.
Take care.
