[QUOTE="LOVEthroughINTELLECT, post: 67282064, member: 119459"] :scratch: People with low incomes can't give up things that they do not really need? People with low incomes do not suffer the social consequences of refusing to play the role of consumer of a perpetual supply of needlessly commodified useless junk? I could consume all of the credit that most Americans consume, but I am trying to live [B]well within[/B] my own financial means and well within our collective ecological means. Student loans, home loans, car loans--it does not matter what the purpose is, it is all spending money that exceeds the value of the present supply of commodities and can only be paid back by commodifying more things, depleting resources even further, and doing further irreparable harm to the environment. Giving up all of the worthless entertainment that I do not really need, such as the National Football League, does not count? Being marginalized in the dating/marriage market because almost all of the available women want to live a life of extravagance does not count? I don't care. Please discuss overpopulation. I want the truth. All of that is further evidence that the middle class in the U.S. is not sustainable and that expectations are going to have to be lowered, it seems to me. [/QUOTE]
