How do we cope with that and What makes a passionate hobby into obsessive nerd like behavior?

Times are tough and the government isn't helping in the way they're trying to. "Do you know what FSJ needs? More homeless" so they ship up 300 from the lower mainland thinking that they will take advantage of the economic success that we've seen up here. Some do, most don't but many die.
