Having to work that much to make a living is absurd.  With today's methods, 
people should only have to work half that.  A testament to waste!

And thank you, Joachim, for reminding us of the innovation of the assembly 
line.  Nowadays, not everyone needs to know how to build a car in order to 
have a car.  Frankly I don't know what you're arguing.
