> The article is ignorant of all of this statement... The "problem" will solve issue and no one will notice it was ever a problem. I think you've misread the article a little. It's not so much a problem in the sense that there will be an overwhelming wave of junk that piles up on street corners. The problem is that there's a generation which is about to share a collective experience, one which will enforce an already minimalist tendency. The article doesn't spend most of its time going on about waste management. It's about the physical and emotional toil associated with handling an estate. That's why it focuses on stories of individuals struggling. As someone who lost a parent this last year (and spent three days just removing food from the house), I may be a little biased. But that was my reading.
