No Government, But Shiny Teeth

It may be hard to believe, but there are many countries in the world with worse political situations than Lebanon. Their banks just normally don't provide loans for plastic surgery and orthodontics. That's quite a luxury, for a country without a functioning government.

I want to write about this at greater length later, so I'll cut myself short here. But if anyone has any insights into how these luxuries can be so popular in a country that finds itself in such a dire political position, I'm all ears.
