THAT is a fascinating point.
Have to admit it had never occurred to me.
In Mexico there are some larger, nicer medical facilities which are owned by Pemex, for instance, and only available to their workers. Everyone else can go piss up a rope. Sort of like another version of the company store, though just plain hunger is a good motivator, too.
Seems odd that with all the labor saving devices, all the modern conveniences and comforts, we get to spend less time with our families than our grand- and great-grandparents did. And the time spent is not usually participating in activities together, but watching TV.
Sad.
