Our Victorian forefathers had vision. They were very much aware of cholera, diphtheria and the like. They introduced clean water, that benefitted everyone. Parks that provided recreation facilities for the future.
Since the eighties we have lived in a society where a diminishing number of rich get richer and richer, and to hell with the rest of us.

@peterlee They had vision, but also a sense of moral responsibility that has disappeared from modern, shareholder-driven capitalism. Civil society and a strong state are all that stands between us and general destitution.
