Somehow math escapes people. We have plenty of everything, except brains. There is enough food, clothing, housing, and health care. What is the problem? The problem is waste and a distribution system that gives everything to the rich. The billionaire has a yacht that creates 800 times more pollution than the average person. It's his money, he earned it is the Republican song. There is plenty of food but millions starve. The NYT is running an article about the insane waste created by the fashion industry. Go to any thrift store and you can see just a minor part of the wasted clothing in this country. We get new stuff not because the old stuff does not work, but because we get a buzz from buying new stuff. Making a statement with our possessions is insanity. You get a goofy car, truck, boat, or whatever to show what kind of goof you are. Tatooos are a classic. This is what king of goof I am. Waste is eating the planet.
Sit at the exit to Walmart and watch what the slummers buy. It aint hard to figure out why the slummers are broke. Selling water takes the cake. People busted flat are hauling bottled water out of Walmart. The money spent moving water around is insane. Most of the weight moved about in the name of food is water. Look at the one isle in the grocery store where a flavor is mixed with water and sold.
The entire throw away world we have created is killing us.
