So, what is it half the people are missing? A new car? When I got my first job some of the other bagboys went out and bought Corvettes. I don’t recall how new they were, but they were Corvettes. Pretty much, we live in a time when the average person lives better and longer than kings did just 100 years ago. God bless air-conditioning and refrigeration. Tonight I will have food somebody else prepared in a factory half a world away. Poor? No.

Excellent post. Fresh strawberries or oranges in the middle of Winter. Something only a king could have afforded a hundred years ago.
And tomatoes. As a youngster I hated eating mushy tomatoes sold in the off season. I haven’t had a mushy tomato in years and years.
