He is so right when he says “losing your shit over material stuff”. I mean we all love getting free crap, but these people on Oprah are like little children spazing over a new pokemon toy. Grow up.
says the man with millions of dollars. Some people don’t have a lot and what may seem minute to you may not be to another person. I know a lot of cold homeless people who would go nuts over a sweater.
@Trimbler00 (cont’d) the US the same amount of money can make far less significant help for far fewer people. So it’s good that the money is going overseas for humanitarian purposes. Also, protectionism is based on a fixed labor lump fallacy. I have no problem with consumption (in fact it’s a good thing because it spreads capital between socio-economic stratas) a long as people are spending money they actually have, and not just piling on debt that becomes toxic assets that just get bundled and
@trvsgstn no they’re not slaves, because slaves are forced to work, people in third world countries who choose to work in garment factories make a personal decision to work and increase their standard of living. Your protectionist ideology also has two flaws– one, I have a problem with it as a humanitarian, I want what’s best for the most people in the world, regardless of what country they live in. An extra few dollars in wages can double the standard of living for 2-3 Indian workers, but in
@Trimbler00 my point is that these corporations will hire those who could comparatively be considered slaves to do the work instead of paying someone reasonable wages within their own country. If this has a positive effect on the said employee’s home country’s financial and socio-political dealings, then sure, maybe it’s not so problematic. However, in the mean time, there are people here blaming the USA’s downfall on those who point out our ridiculous lust for unneeded material bullshit.
@trvsgstn yes, they do hire people in other countries, and increase the standard of livings of those people in doing so. so what’s the problem with that?
@pancakehead911 Capitalism wouldn’t be able to function without that mentality. We’ve all (99% of us) got some corporate puppeteer’s hand up our butts.
It is pretty sad when people hyperventilate over material things..Thats become our mentality we need the very newest, and the best, and when something newer and better comes along, we need that also.
I feel much better when I get rid of all the shit in my house! I have too much shit! (Mostly books, though, not Operah Whinny-esque crap.) It’s time for it to go.
@stpark27 See, the problem with you is you somehow think that you’re equating people’s innate want to give to those they love with what’s happening in this video. They are not remotely the same thing. Your race and political affiliation are unimportant. What is important is that America is a country where “having shit” is more important than anything else and the dollar is the real Christ.
As far as i’m concerned material greed is a mental illness just like the way religious belief is a mental illness. But they can both be cured by a teaspoon of logic mixed with a dab of common sense (bullshit detectors are optional)!.

@Trimbler00 (cont’d 2) shuffled around. But Oprah certainly does have the money, and her network’s purchases are helping the economy!

Giving crap away isn’t the solution though. Curing a symptom solves nothing. The root of the problem is was we need to address.
Bill is richer than 99% of people and doesn’t give crap away by comparison.
