15. I personally find many commercials to be entertaining

I was just making a joke about the discount doublecheck and my brother laughed.

However, given the time they seem forced to put into these projects, I am not sure it IS a better job.

What he describes is a symptom of the entire working class - our willingness to give our WHOLE life instead of demanding something more. To say NO to our employers. NO I am not gonna give my entire life. NO I will not work 24/7. That maybe there should be life BEFORE retirement.

This guy did not live long enough to retire, apparently, and is asking himself, why did I give so much to my job? To my employers?
