It's not fun. I wish we weren't like this. I think it's a real problem that we habitually think this way.

- munificent 5y agoI agree wholeheartedly that Americans do end up thinking in economic terms and that's not great for society, but I strongly disagree that it's something intrinsic to being American. We live in a society heavily dominated by corporations and where many people struggle to afford a dignified, stable life. I don't think people want to be in a hustle mindset all the time, but if you're forced to live in the desert, you're going to spend a lot of time thinking about water whether you like it or not.
