Well, evidently I'm touching a nerve, which could hopefully provoke some people into considering the connections. I'm frustrated that so much human energy and time is allocated to appeasing the fleeting insecurities of the hyperwealthy. Not just allocated to it, devoted to it. Meanwhile, there's very critical work to be done that isn't allocated shit on any meaningful scale. We as humans only have so much time in our days. The luxury goods sector, to me, is a wasteful allocation of energy. And I know people on the other side of the pyramid scheme busting their asses to take care of kids and pay the rent at the same time. It highly irritates me that this is where their hard work is aimed. At the top of society,the owner class is focused on fricking Prada? That really gets my goat. The ability for people to excessively obsess over logos and funnel money at them is enabled by the excessive exploitation of working people.
