The game is all about increasing consumption and increasing corporate profit margins…all at the expense of the environment, consumers, and working people in the USA.[/quote]
Yeah, that’s about it. But, I am kind of beyond blaming anybody but the logic of the system itself. Even the most ethical business is forced to complete when one breaks from honest practices. Just look at the housing debacle. It became a race to the bottom. They competitively slit their own throats. Add in things like planned obsolescence, debt pushing, seductive constant “life-style images” that produce status anxiety purchasing and you have a neurotic, perpetual waste machine with junky-mentality that produces a lot of bad behavior. I mean, a economic crash is not the worst thing in the world as long as people don’t lose their minds.
