There’s a huge difference between throwing something on a shelf and taking care of it. You’re assuming I have a house to let something sit on for 30yr. That’s an incorrect assumption. You’re assuming I have unlimited space in my apartments and moving trucks. That’s an incorrect assumption. You’re assuming all storage is created equal. My climate controlled apartment and external garage with a crack in the foundation prove that to be an incorrect assumption.
Apparently you have all of those things and that’s fucking awesome. I’m happy for you. Not everyone is as privileged as you and some of us have to make decisions about what we keep and where we keep it.
It's still not significant time and work even if you're just paying someone else for climate-controlled storage.
You used the phrase “paying” while saying it’s not much work? Where do you think money comes from if not time and work? It sounds like you don’t have to worry about money but most of us do. That’s another incorrect assumption.
It sure doesn't if the money comes from sitting on products waiting for people to pay more due to scarcity.
I really don’t understand your perspective on commerce. You seem to think that everyone has unlimited space in a house that they own or the money to fund movers to keep shifting things around all the time and that no one ever has to get rid of anything ever and everyone can always afford everything ever or companies are always making everything they’ve ever made. I think you’re just trolling so I’m done with this conversation.
I really don't understand your perspective on literacy.
I think everyone should have access to books and audio. It’s very important for people like yourself to consume a lot of material so you know there are people that don’t have infinite money to buy and store all the things. I know that comes as a shock. Would you like some resources that might expose you to other new ideas that will help develop yours?
