What do principled, patriotic Americans do with this free time afforded? Statistics record 35 hours dedicated to watching tell-a-vision {crystal gazing} per week, which rivals a full-time job. 16 hours per week devoted to online gaming {another form of crystal gazing}. 1,300 hours per annum faithfully advertising on social media {still another form of crystal gazing}.
