    It’s disturbing how much the global economy depends on us buying shit we don’t need.

      I guess if we as humanity focused on producing only high quality and essential, basic products (food, housing, clothing) + the tools and processes that we need in the supply chain, we could massively reduce labor and reduce our ecological footprint at the same time. But our current economical system is depending on everyone doing something, everlasting growth and consumption.

        I tend to run vehicles until they die as well, but that’s mostly because kayaks and mountain bikes are far more interesting.
