Just yesterday I read a story about the "glasses crisis" in this country and how millions of Americans are going without prescription glasses because they cannot afford them. This "affordability" crisis is literally extended to every good (even tampons). You would never see stories like this in earlier times.

Women were kept in the home in earlier times. Tampon crises solved.


And in earlier times people didn't really need to read (or drive) as much as they do now. Glasses crises solved.




I bet in earlier times no one had a need for an appendectomy, either - they just died. Health care crises solved.
