      i don’t know why people need to shame each other for succumbing to the desire to Purchase when our entire society is designed to encourage it

        It’s not so much trying to shame, it’s more like when one moth is telling his friend the other moth not to go into the light.

          There is a ton of shaming done. Politicians, ceos, newspaper headlines removed about how no one wants to work, how people need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, how a major economic depression with 50% joblessness will teach workers to appreciate their jobs and their bosses more.
