4. Sure it's a construct

Got anything better? If you want to measure something, you need a unit. The unit we have is a year and it ends on December 31. You can try and change that if you want, I guess.

The most recent period in the current unit of measure has sucked in many ways. If you don't get that, I guess I don't get you.

Time is also a construct. What time do you eat lunch? If somebody wants to make you wait until 3 pm, are you indifferent to that as well or do you get hangry?

But what I really want to know is what caused the shift from vodka to wine?
