[quote=Anonymous]I’m also late 40s. What makes my head spin is just how much stuff Americans have now and how much of it is just constantly new. Food, clothes, tech, home appliances, there’s so much more choice than there was 40 years ago, and people have more of it, and they are replacing it more often. That, combined with the population growth and what we now know about climate change, just makes me feel like the world is spinning faster and faster in a consumption vortex. And it’s not just the US—you go to any other country and they now have pretty much all the same crap we do. We have bought the world a Coke: and then some. It all makes me feel just a little disoriented and like we are speeding to end days. But maybe that’s just me being old.[/quote]
