karoshi

The country that gave us the term "Madogawazoku", literally seat by the window for marginalized business men presents us with "Karoshi", literally work til you drop. Apparently, Japanese children regularly pick their parents up from work to prevent them from working themselves to death. Reminds me of my grandfather who frequented local bars as a Good Templar back in the 20s, picking up alcoholics and taking them home on the back of his bicycle.
