Why the fuck isn't one of his unemployed sons drive other people's shit around for twelve hours a day instead of him?

The article doesn't mention any issues with them healthwise, which I expect they would have if there were any, considering the perseverance angle, so I think it's safe to assume they're lazy assholes.
