Why have we ended up here? Do you think it’s because the general population demanded cheap crap?
It’s the other way around.
Cheap crap is more profitable, hence a lot of its manufacturing have been off-shored decades ago to those willing to do it cheaper.
This cheap often unneeded crap is marketed as a dream and sold to an irrational population incapable of escaping evolution.
I keep saying this “collection” of what we call money is like a hoarding disorder.
Why keep collecting when I have enough that it cannot spent during several lifetimes?
Add to that, all science point to it destroying this very earth.
Looks like no one is escaping evolution.
