I would never in my right mind shop there. WHY why why???? Nothing is worth this, nothing.

(35,015 posts)These people are fighting each other over THINGS. They will not die if they don't have those THINGS, their lives will not be less fulfilled if they do not have those THINGS; alternatively, their lives will not be more fulfilled if they do have those THINGS.
But they don't understand this and allow businesses and the media to manipulate them into thinking they need to have those THINGS; their very existence depends on it. I hate every aspect of it.
