Yes I find it extreme. And possibly unreasonable. I just wanted to make sure posting.
That said :
one of my great great grand father was a stone cutter in the end of the XIX century, He travelled by foot 2 hours from the suburbs to central Paris everyday.
Those people had certainly another vision of spare time.
And another one was selling latakia cigarettes by the unit in the Balkans : I suppose he did'nt made a fortune either.
