Hoboken provides proof we’re an overly consumer-driven society
Spotted this heaping mound of refuse near Maxwell Place the other day… Massive! And I spoke with a worker on scene, who said that this was just a day or two worth of garbage produced by just ONE of the two properties there. Holy moly!
No matter what angle I tried shooting this shot from, it did not accurately portray how much rubbish people produce these days.
Do you think our society is overly consumer-driven?

I stopped upgrading my equipment a long time ago. The plan of the elite is to get the majority of the consumers out there in a cycle of constant replacement. It’s a brilliant way to ensure revenue. If I get my messages, and can call and send, I do not need the next best thing.
I see how they do it. Some major releases do have great features that I might use, but I choose to hold off. So what if I can upload a pic of my crotch hair and it will automatically add a new avatar! What good does that do to anyone?
The hundreds of new startups I’ve seen recently are certainly destined for failure.

I wonder if we will see as many Amazon boxes in the garbage once they start charging sales tax? Unfortunately a lot of items we purchase contain major amounts of packaging that is immediately discarded. Instead of constantly hiking prices to consumers, manufacturers and retailers should be looking for ways to reduce wasteful packaging. This much waste is a terrible shame.
