      A quick search led me to an estimate of 1.5 billion washing machines in existence in 2018, which works out to one for every 5 or 6 people.

      I live in a small apartment building with 6 residents and one washing machine. So here I am, in the developed and privileged West, living under global average washing machine conditions.

      I remain convinced that the problem is not scarcity, but inequality.
