Americans are workaholic. And they are nothing but rushed and rushing ever faster to get to work earlier and earlier every day until they get no more than maybe an hour or two, sometimes even minutes, of sleep per day. And every day, the 24 hour hamster wheel spins ever faster. And the pace of life continues to accelerate ever faster until it kills, whether it be by car accident, collision with a train, or who knows.
