"Dag nabbit these prices are just boulder dash compared what it was like back in my day" my grandpa would always say to me about any product that seemed priced to high to him. Maybe now I can give him a response that will make him give a bit of thought too. "Hey gramps how about the amount of work time it would take now to get that compared to the "good ole days"'. Is what I would say back to my stubborn grandpa. I found that very interesting when Wheelan talked about that in this chapter about how dramatically the work time needed to buy a product has gone down. Just because so many times in my life I have heard people older then me discuss how prices seem so high, even I have found myself thinking even back a few years about how prices have seemed to rise but I guess it just didn't quite make as much sense since I haven't been in the work force. But on the other hand it just baffles me that India's health care infrastructure is too idiotic to treat a horrible disease that can be fixed for 3$, now I do keep in mind that that can be a lot of money for India's very low GDP for each person but the drug is free to those who suffer but once again the government and it's health care can't figure out a simple structure in which could helps hundreds of thousands of people, which personally is so frustrating that these people will suffer horribly because of it.
