Today, you can go to The Boston Market fast-food chain to get your home cooked meal. In our market-based economy, we have even found ways of selling air. My dad smoked cigarettes for the majority of his life. This led to prolonged hospital stays. While attached to all sorts of machines, he was given oxygen so he could breathe, and was charged for every breath he took.
Pollution is good for the economy.
I'm looking forward to the days of designer air. Try the new and improved Sea Breeze 2000. At some time, America shifted from the nobility of simplicity to the frustration of unending acquisition. Duane Elgin, author and Director of Choosing Our Future, believes the shift took place after World War II as the advertising culture succeeded in creating identity consumption. We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced and discarded at an ever-increasing rate.
