Precisely why WalMart became the largest retailer in the world. People like to buy a bunch of cheap consumer products as it makes them feel wealthier. If we could only buy American made products we would have a lot less ‘stuff’. Fuck China, but it makes sense to buy products from places with cheap labor. It’s part of why Americans are the world’s largest consumers.

I agree. I've been thinking a lot lately, though, wondering whether life was better before all the stuff.
