We don’t have to solve every problem at all times. We are certainly allowed to narrow our focus here, from “everything that has ever sucked” to “enact universal healthcare now”.
When I got hired they sent me the catalogue and said “pick something”, and I went “surely not, no, this is far too expensive for the one time I’ll wear it…” and they said “you need something for twice yearly meetings with the ceo, so just pick something… ok?”
And so I got the absolute loudest (that I liked) multicolored zip front hoodie I could find and those bitches paid to have that shit embroidered with a logo nobody cares about or recognizes, and now I have a ridiculous sweatshirt that’s much higher quality than it deserves to be but cost THREE HUNDRED FUCKING FREEDOM DOLLARS, and thus occasionally gets worn even tho I don’t work there anymore.
I felt the same way about having to buy a suit for my sister’s wedding. The bridesmaids will be able to wear those dresses again they’re nice dresses and they don’t obviously scream wedding, but when am I going to wear the suit again?
Homes, medical treatment, and financial stability are all a lot more expensive than bougie consumer products.
And while the average american can usually figure out how evil the oligarchy is, thinking through solutions and actions is a much bigger ask for the average american.
I mean tbf this isn’t directly about consumerism it’s about the evil practices of healthcare insurance companies. I’m not sure you’d get nearly as many people agreeing that consumerism is bad.
Oh I thought you were aware of some fact that I had not heard about but you were just talking out of your ass??
I think that’s a really despicable thing to throw speculative bullshit around like you are and while we are just “wondering” out loud I wonder if this has anything to do with how you do not stand by anything you say and delete all your comments.
Here I am wondering how people afford to shop at Nordstrom while also being annoyed by the consumerism bullshit that is a blight on us all.

Let’s keep our eyes on that ball.
I have one thing from there.
A company branded sweatshirt.
When I got hired they sent me the catalogue and said “pick something”, and I went “surely not, no, this is far too expensive for the one time I’ll wear it…” and they said “you need something for twice yearly meetings with the ceo, so just pick something… ok?”

Wait, what? Usually the complaint is the other way around. A suit can be worn time and time again, in all kinds of occasions.
Just curious, how does your suit scream wedding?
I’ve used the suit I bought for my wedding countless times, just ditched the embroidered vest.
Holy shit. I can’t imagine being this upset to receive something for free. You must be fun at parties.
Just because you don’t have to pay for something yourself doesn’t mean it’s not a waste of money.
Yeah I wish I thought this hard about anything neverless a free quality shirt lol
Certainly doesn’t seem apathetic…
Are you saying that only poor people hate consumerism? Rejecting consumerism is an indirect way to gain wealth though frugality.
Nope. I agree with you.
They’re in debt.
Homes, medical treatment, and financial stability are all a lot more expensive than bougie consumer products.

because he couldnt get any more opiates prescribed?
edit: how come every comment you’ve ever made over the past more-than-a-year have been deleted?
It was over a refusal to fix his back, not give him pills.

Seen what supposedly was a after surgery xray of guys back. And yes speculation. Also the ceo being investigated. Internet hearsay
Then stand by what you say and don’t delete your comments.
Also you forgot to delete this one.
