RE: Too much — FoodiesUnite

You didn't let yourself be fooled and you didn't give in to the "Buy Now" challenge.

When I saw the first picture, I thought you were going to write about the project you are making or the tool you bought, but after a few lines of text it was clear to me what you were planning to write about.

The commodity will come to our heads...

And our need to get to everything without difficulty is used by those powerful brands, who bury us with a lot of goods and equipment that can help us with "this or that", and which are necessary for us and without which we cannot live...
And in fact, these same brands become billionaires and only raise the ladder of their goals, to sell us as many (unnecessities) as possible...

I might write about the project some time but a lot of what I do and my real life never makes it to Hive because it's private. Maybe I will on this occasion, it's a cool project.

People are gullible and stupid which is not a good mix; it's very easy for corporations to sell to people for this reason. The thing is, not all of the blame is on the corporations and billionaires - people have the ability to choose whether to buy or not, and so many make bad choices.

For me, well I guess I could buy whatever I need (within reason) but I choose not to and prefer to make what I have last and buy needs not wants (mostly) which means more money stays in my pocket and that I don't feel the compulsion to attach my feeling of self-worth to material items.
