@freedomordeath89 production and consumption got a bit out of hand there for a second though you have to admit. i got to see the back end operations of one of those big discount store retailers at the beginning of 2020 right before mid March and everything "paused." It was crazy, you had truck after truck dropping off load after load of boxes day after day. And I was just observing the clothes conveyor belt. Boxes of shirts, pants, etc. just being brought in on pallets, broken down, sent down a box shoot, opened, then all the bags of bags inside the boxes were opened, then the clothes were hung on racks for employees to take out to the shelves where people bought them from open to close. It's sad if you see behind the curtain.
After a while, I started looking at where all these clothes were being made, and then I started picturing those factories, and how the people were sending finished and packaged perfect neat little products. From the material, to the thread, to the hem, to the buttons, to the pile, to the preparation of cardboard and safety pins and needles and tags and stickers and etc, to the packaging, to the bags, to the boxes, to the trucks, to the ships, to the docks, to the trucks, to the stores, and this one just ONE store in a chain of which there are many similar chains. It became hard to witness. it felt like a hamster wheel.
Minute after minute and hour after hour, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year you had people opening, sorting, preparing, pricing, and stocking these items non-stop on one shift, every day, and it's been going on like this for years. One single mom just lost a husband so she had to work more. She stood in one corner of a building all day, with bathroom breaks and a lunch, just to provide for her kids so they could have food and clothes and a roof above their heads with increasing rent costs. it's sad. Imagine it in terms of food. It's like man is this hungry fucking hippo that just keeps eating and eating and eating even after he is full just to eat so he can produce to eat to produce to eat with no balance. The land doesn't rest, the people don't rest. As soon as one employee becomes old, sick, or tired, another one comes along to replace them.
