    As long as people continue to worship money and stuff, and increased consumer spending is reported and regarded as “good news,” we won’t be able to shift from our wasteful ways.

    Should we be worshiping The Fatted Calf or maybe just The Sun? Consumers have no choice but to wish for more and more money because without it you die. You can’t pay rent with anything but money, you can’t buy food with anything but money, you can’t trade anything but money for healthcare.

    For anything to change there needs to be a global change in how “wealth” and resources are distributed.

    But you know, lets just blame the guys at the bottom and not the insane billionaires club who’s choices trickle down to cause suffering and death for millions of people.
