Here is the reponse from Google concerning my recent

Because he's sitting at his home with all his lack of skill, ambition,
motivation
self-determination, sense of ethics or civility,and with nothing else to do.
His high-speed internet connection and beer bill are starting to mount,
The paychecks from his wife's two extra minimum wage jobs just don't
seem to stretch as far as they used to, and he is hoping to make some
easy money "off the internet".
