- ThinkingGuy 9y agoUnless you live completely off the grid, and are totally self-sufficient, growing your own food, making your own tools, etc. you're a consumer (in the economic sense) in some way or another.
- RugnirViking 9y agoBut I can be a consumer without being a US citizen. The study wasn't done on global consumers, it was conducted solely on US citizens. It might seem petty, but its important to be specific when reporting scientific results even for pop sci. This article chops and changes between consumers and US citizens a lot which could cause confusion
