But 200 years ago there were no cars. So I guess that statement is technicaly true.
OTOH, the wealthy of 1802 could definately buy luxury items to their hearts content. So if there were cars then....

I wonder about that statement. Wouldn't surprise me if that does still happen.

But I do get your point.
