in terms of consumerism, yesterday morning I acquired a baby antelope skull with horns, a genuine sterling silver women’s navajo new belt buckle and a handmade hula hoop made from thick tubing from some trade show, all for $8.00 at a yard sale down the street.
there are so many physical items in the USA that used stuff is super cheap. I think guys drive around with trucks and take our used stuff from yard sales back down to mexico and turn a profit. not sure how that works exactly, but you can see guys with superoverloaded trucks who are doing this every weekend. not sure what that means it’s almost like they make it, we lease it, they get it back used?
