You guys are like cosplayers. NLxSK is correct, 40 hours a week is a totally arbitrary number made up by people clearly out of touch with how actual work is done. It's like saying there is a legalistic reason why a red-light camera snaps a picture at 3 seconds and not 2 (or 2 in New York when they tell you 3). There is an immense problem with technical legislation in this country, if you want to be an activist nowadays, look no further than the most boring part of studying law.
People buy cars to impress other people. There is absolutely no reason why most people own personal cars, excluding the fact that women like nice cars. Does any rational, thinking man that has to earn his own money want to buy a Lamborghini Countach? Hell no, we know how much it costs, how ugly it is, and how it is definitively not 10x the amount of car you would get over buying a Honda Civic. It's because women absolutely do look at how willing you are to spend inordinate amounts of money on frivolous shit like cars, diamonds, and family courts when choosing a mate. The fact that Italian sports cars are fast is just an act of mercy on the engineers' part, they're cool because they're expensive.
The problem is, get ready for it: ..........EVERYONE'S BROKE! There is no more money anymore! Rich guys have all of it and they're too busy buying more derivatives exposure to actually purchase anything outside of the video game economy. Seriously, look around you, where is the avenue to being independently wealthy within the American dream? You basically have to be a financial speculator to even catch a sideways whiff of wealth in this country anymore. You want to retire? Better know how to sue Goldman-Sachs to get your pension back.
