why do we all have so much stuff
July 2007I have too much stuff. Most people in America do. In fact, the poorer people are, the more stuff they seem to have. Hardly anyone is so poor that they can't afford a front yard full of old cars.It wasn't always this way. Stuff used to be rare and valuable.You can still see evidence of that if you look for it.n fact, the poorer people are, the more stuff they seem to have.
