[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mostly just hate the inflatables for being more plastic crap, and think the ease of the inflatables contributed to more people ordering them and contributing to overconsumption of future landfill items, as well as the impacts of easy online purchasing on fossil fuel consumption.

There have always been people who go wild with holiday decor and while that's not for me, if they want to put the time, money, and effort into it, great. It does make a lot of people happy.

But the effort, expense, and space (both display space and storage space) necessary for that approach meant it was fairly rare. Now anyone can fill a yard of any size with cheap inflatables via a one-click Amazon Prime order and 30 minutes of service up, and plenty of people don't bother with hanging more than a few lights (because that's work). It's just a sign of our cheap, easy, wasteful, lazy society. One step closer to Wall-E.

No thanks![/quote]

Not to mention the mental storage needed to think and decide if this inflatable is "cuter" or that one to purchase[/quote]
