Here’s the credit card TV commercial we’d like to see:
Groceries for a day: $15
Wi-Fi service for a month: $40
Cable TV for a year: $800
Clean water whenever you need it: Priceless!
Water is one of those rare commodities worth any price – if you don’t have it. Millions of desperate people around the world can testify to that.
