Well, it's like alcoholism - like an ostrich sticking its head in the sand ... an escape from reality.
10 hours a day? - and when to live? why then live? ..
Rest assured - you will soon have even more friends (consumer inflation in the US has reached 9%, and production inflation is almost 20) ... capitalism is in deep crisis - as usual, wars, unemployment, disease and even famine will begin in some regions ...
