Poor people have more 45% more leisure time than wealthy.

Society as a whole has more leisure time than any time of history before. We still bitch day after day, minute after minute.

More unqualified leisure time isn't what most people want. Most people want meaningful connections to others. Watching T.V. for eight hours isn't going to make people feel good. Feeling connected and maintaining a sense of belonging is what is lacking in the modern world.
