When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

Opinion: Stop Stereotyping Bad Teeth as a Sign of Drug Addiction

Automakers have products to sell and lenders have money to loan, yet consumers continue to delay big purchases. Not only is the rent still too damn high, but the pre-existing economic uncertainty coupled with this being an election year and, well, the standoff for sales looks to continue well into the second half of the year.
