Consumers are not the problem. Attempting to perpetuate Profit is the problem. Consumers can be the *solution* by becoming the Owners. Production must be for PRODUCT. We are not in an economy of consumption, we are in an economy of destruction being operated by those who care nothing about the PRODUCT itself, but only want to keep the Consumer subjugated so they Price can be kept above Cost. Listen to me God-Dammit! We cannot continue to use Investors who demand the PRODUCT be sold for a Price above Cost - for that is the reason they seek infinite Growth! Straight to Hell with the jackass notion that the Consumer is to blame for production that he has no control over. Seeking Profit is what is murdering the planet. Capitalism conflicts with itself because the investors/owners are not the Consumers, but are instead a bunch of thugs intending to keep us from achieving our goals! Consumers must be the co-owners of the Means of Production and Product must be the ROI for that risk.
