Man Uses $1m Win To Finally Visit Doctor, Gets Terminal Cancer Diagnosis, Dies

RE: Man Uses $1m Win To Finally Visit Doctor, Gets Terminal Cancer Diagnosis, Dies
Here's an article from a more liberal source:
https://www.theatlantic.com/business/arc...ca/499826/

Quote:Elite men in the U.S. are the world’s chief workaholics. They work longer hours than poorer men in the U.S. and rich men in other advanced countries. In the last generation, they have reduced their leisure time by more than any other demographic. As the economist Robert Frank wrote, “building wealth to them is a creative process, and the closest thing they have to fun.”

I'm not elite, but I do OK. I worked 71 hours last week. I do that for about 13 weeks each year (tax season), and work the standard 40 for the rest of the year (although we do get good holidays and vacation in the off season). Unlike the elites, I don't enjoy doing it. It's just the price of a decent standard of living.
