Yes, I did note it. And there is some validity to that observation.

However, did you note that they are young and yet, they are finding it difficult to keep up? Asthma, diabetes, CHVS, obesity etc are at all time high in the US.....and probably to a lesser extent in Germany. These are diseases brought on by too much stress. We are trying to turn people into machines in order to improve productivity and remain competitive. Its insane!
