My parents will not fit into my poorly planned 1940s tenement house. Unfortunately the moment they cannot produce labor for the collective they will be ground up and eaten.
now you're coming around. but too late, i'm off to single handedly support the US economy with my purchases.
you know, it is possible to talk critically about a society which you participate in?
Do you have even basic reading skills? ARE YOU COMPLETELY RETARDED? This thread is about HOUSING. I said, I live in a 1940s house. It is less than half the size of most houses built today. And I clearly have missed out on my consumer duties, because it isn't full yet of consumer items thus requiring to move into a MODERN 4000 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE.
The only LOG is coming out of my BROWN EYE, down on your ILLITERATE fool head.
WRONG AGAIN! You are totally missing the point, AS USUAL. The point was that people are buying bigger HOUSES because they are FILLING them UP WITH CRAP. I trust you are not so STUPID as to miss read the key words I have CAPITALIZED for you to ASSIST you reading SKILLS...of which you seem to have NONE.
And yes, I am rich. But not because of MONEY.
not really chief. I don't have hypocrisy because I don't have a huge house, now do I? In fact, my house was built in 1940, and I have room to spare, even with my mound of climbing gear.
Enjoy your CRAP!
of course, one of the leading reasons for the bigger houses is so that you have a place to put all the CRAP you buy participating in the consumer economy which of course is "progress". buy consume more stuff get it so hot purchase buy get bigger house buy consume
Interesting to see house sizes balloon from what they used to be back in the day. All the little boxes out in the West Seattle are slowly being replaced with huge behemoths such as the towering sun eclipser next door. I guess it goes hand in hand with the fattening and spine weakening of america.
