Hello Friends,
I remember when compressed air was free at most gas stations, water was free, candy and cigarettes were cheap, and doctors made house calls. Now, it is hard to find tobacco products at a reasonable price and good quality; water is bottled and can cost more than $2 for a plastic container,
There are many healthcare options, from walk-in clinics, urgent care, special testing, and hospital emergency rooms, to run to when something isn't right, but at a high cost.
Energy supplies vary from place to place, and all sources seem to cost more annually. In most countries, it is difficult, illegal, or impossible to heat and cook with fuel such as the wood we used to collect for free.
Some of these changes are intended to create a healthier environment. But it seems the task is a losing battle because of greed and selfishness.
