For me it's completely helpless.

I have total disdain for this consumerism and can't see how we can avoid anything but reverting to essentially subsistence farming again. Once you take away the shipping container, everything falls down...

I believe the economics of shipping stuff around the planet to be cleaned, then processed, then packed, all in different locations is completely insane.

If I was more charismatic, if start a suicide cult, essentially. I know that's comment an excuse but it's how I feel about the matter. There are simply far too many of us, we need to thin the herd.

I also regret having had kids and would never again do that to someone, I kinda fell down the antinatal hole... I love 'em and we have a great time, but I see nothing bright in the future.
