Are you smoking crack? Americans aren't "work obsessed". We are "stuff obsessed". We want everything for cheap. We are obsessed with god bless the USA or "we will put a boot in yer ass", but don't think twice about dropping a paycheck on disposable Chinese made stuff at Wal-Mart. We have become a big image, with nothing to back it up, besides the past when we actually did work hard. We are spoiled, crybabies, still clinging to the "if I work hard I can make it or maybe become rich" , 1950s mentality that rich people still try to feed the rest of us, so that we keep the wheels turning, so they can stay rich. Joe Punchclock will ***** and complain about gas prices, but still drive the biggest vehicle he can afford. Happy as long as he can still afford a 12 pack and cable tv, so he can occuppy himself with sports. And don't you DARE try and make his 'Merica anything like Europe! We do things our way, and our way is the right way. The American way.

Ok. I'm done.

i love when white americans have the balls to tell immigrants to get out of their country, hilarious.
iirc modern cities in japan such as tokyo have the most work obsessed culture, some dont even have homes but rent "pods" to sleep in for a few hours between shifts, and have high stress and the highest suicide rate which correlates to employment
HEY LOOK A BIKE

Some surprising reading on the subject. The U.S. is the Most Overworked Nation in the World

should build em up anyway, theyre a great pairing, and very atypical. i love weird **** and i love that i have a 3 speed rando touring fixed gear commuting bike that i ride offroad with
i broke one spoke but he was so kind as to include extras, other than they they havent even needed truing and i put these things through absolute hell
im considering building a second set with the bigger drum front and the SA 8 speed freewheel in the back to use my tricolor stuff that i got for $25
