It's less about Timmy and more about billionaires trying to make more and more

Sure but Americans insane thirst for piles and piles of useless shit isn’t helping. I don’t live like a kink (ha Monk)* or anything but years living abroad makes me reflect on my own purchasing habits with embarrassment. So much pointless shit that only lines the pockets of billionaires and ultimately hurts people in other countries.

Yeah but who cares about people who might as well not exist since I can't see them? I need another delivery so I can be excited about the package when it comes. Just one more and I swear I'm done cold turkey, please?
