and plumbing, did I say plumbing? It’s all the rage in the West....
I think you forgot sanitation. Or maybe that is implicit in your fine list...
I happened to be channel surfing a few years ago and came upon Al Gore’s cable channel. I was stopped and had to watch the program.
It was about a journey throughout India and SE Asia and the sanitary conditions on how the people had no toilets. They just went out and crapped in the fields, or river. The river looked like grey sewage and people drank from it.
They didn’t even have the sense to dig a simple hole or slit trench, do their job, and cover it up.
AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO FEEL SORRY FOR THEM!
don’t forget pizza delivery!
