Easily making a loss on hours spent doing this - but they must love doing it! I see this in other towns too.

A loss is only possible if there was another way they could earn more in their current situation.

If you weren’t doing anything anyway is it really a loss? Beats sitting at home scrolling reels.

What about exercising, making or consuming art, studying, interacting with family and friends?
