I saw that people are buying $150 or $250 sockbags for their iphone. They also are buying $30 glass cups from Starbucks. Can people accept that the customer is a major part of the problem?

    Can one exist without the other? Can capitalism thrive without the relentless senseless consumption? Honestly, I don’t know.

      Well the people are the ones that don’t have to buy mindlessly so as much as I hate Starbucks. I just can never go to them.

        Is it really that simple? That we should just stop consuming? I honestly don’t know much about sociology, but it’s really not that simple.
