How can mindless consumption be controlled when all we are fed is you should have bigger better etc.
Look at the shows on house renovation.
Rip up functional kitchens and bathrooms.
Who needs two ovens in a kitchen but that is now the fashion.
Cars who needs a car that does 200 mph plus.
A closet with hundreds of shoes.
Gluttony is the norm and our hero's perpetuate the notion of over the top disgusting consumption.
I live very simply well below the standard I can afford and use as little as possible.
I waste not one morsel of food wear my clothes until thread bear.
And of course I am the nutter but its a pity folk don't live conservatively and attend need not greed.
The market economy encourages greed and glutony and yet the alternative a controlled market fails because even it can't get rid of greed.
And so there is no hope and finally nature may decide our species must go.
We need a world government and me running it that is the only hope for half the human race ...don't ask about what happens to the other half but put it this way consumption with reduce by 50% over night.
