My sister can't see the big E on the old school eye charts.

My kid barely can, as well. They're practically blind without glasses.

20 years ago:

"We need to stop using paper bags! They're cutting down all the trees!” (a renewable resource)

"We should use plastic bags instead! They're recyclable!” (so is paper, and it's far more economically viable, but plastic is made from petroleum)

So now we use plastic bags made of a much heavier material, so we can reuse them, or cloth bags for a similar reason.

Cloth bags are made from cotton, like paper is made from trees.

Cable TV providers in the 70s: "No commercials when you pay for our services!"

Cable TV providers in the early 80s: "Ok, we actually meant no commercials on premium channels, but local channels will, and it's not our fault."

Cable TV providers in the late 80s: "Fine. What we meant was no commercials on movie channels."

Cable TV providers in the 90s: "Uhm, so only on-demand shows will be commercial free."
