I think people in general live to excessively.
Actually I think if the world lasts long enough, there would be a big turn around.
For example, when I was growing up, people didn't really 'decor' their houses.
Much of what they bought, lasted them a life time or very close to it. Rarely
did people change their furniture. Appliances lasted many years and many of
them also lasted a life time. What did people do when they had a simple $4
two slice toaster that went on the brink? They fixed it or went so far as to call
a toaster repair man.
What's it all for today? I don't know Art Bell but I relate, at least to an extent.
People don't need all the stuff they have. It's just stuff and 90% is useless stuff.
They die and family or someone goes in and throws away most the stuff. The
world becomes full of useless stuff/garbage.
Humans are the dumbest animals on this planet. Dumb dumb dumb.
Oh way back in the day they would call some areas where people lived as trailer trash.
That was dumb too. Today, mobile homes are rather expensive and built much better
than years ago.
Personally, I came close to buying a motor home and I may still do it at some point.
I'm considering purchasing a lake lot. Any time I want to take a vacation, I put the
key in the ignition and drive off.
