@SevenFootPelican well now this happens through the internet on our computers and phones. I totally believe the 3000 ads in that regard.
-
@jennNjackNY I'm going to assume that some of this is containers and packaging and food gone bad or not wanted and not mostly the actual things.
-
I believe you but would still like to see sources cited that show that we throw away 99% of stuff within 6 months on average.

@untropezon go live in iraq then

67 dislikers threw out at least 3 of their old iPhones for new ones in the past 3 years.

TIME magazine initiated the "Go shopping" distortion and perpetuated it.
Please be sure to check the reliable primary sources which are easy enough to find with a quick search.

@dmackintx According to Time magazine, GW Bush states "I ask you to live your lives and hug your children... I ask your continued participation and confidence in the American economy"
Fact checking RELIABLE sources takes wisdom.
-
I agree with this video, but 3000 ads a day? That seems like a bit of a stretch. Maybe if you only sat in front of a TV all day, lol.
-
@BlueMonkey154 Bush made a public announcement after 9/11 telling citizens to shop. I guess you where to young to remember that.

I can't believe the comments of all these stupid brainwashed Americans!
After seeing the whole program I was curious to read from people whose eyes had been opened. How naive of me!!
Just as religious people will not be persuaded by hard facts and science, brainwashed-to-consume people will not be convinced by reason.
It'll take generations to turn back the tide.
