Beer should be placed above WiFi. After all, with enough beer you can do without WiFi but not the reverse.   ;)

If I am reading the pyramid correctly, the most basic of needs are at the bottom. Beer should be below wifi since it is far more important

Exactly. Also different for men and women. For men, beer is the base and for woman it would be shoes.

Beer should be on each row, freely flowing.

I think beer is implicit in all levels:

Physiological: Beer is simply a mixture of food and water and so it takes care of two items all by itself.
Safety: What makes you feel safer than beer?
Belonging/Love: Really now, who doesn't love beer? And feel like they belong in the company of others of like persuasion?
Self-Actualization: Nothing actualizes the self to get moving to the lavatory better than beer.

So really, we could reduce the four original levels to just one: BEER

And if you have enough beer, what on earth do you need the WiFi level for?

End of discussion, end of thread, end of Malsow. Go get a beer already!

Is he the guy that invented KIPASS?  Or was it multi viscosity oil?
