a journal of my impressions of, and experiences in, America

Vive le Consumer

Life in the US seems to center around the consumer. The producers may run the country but its the consumer that is put up on a pedestal and overtly worshipped.

Infact if say Safeway wants to keep using thin plastic carry bags, its their inherent "pro-consumer choice" stand at work!

Every store gives out coupons for "partner" stores that promise anything from 5-100% off on whatever they are selling.

As a friend said - they just want your money. Oh well.
