Nuts. Yep, we're conditioned to make do with less whilst Woolworths and Coles have their biggest profits ever. I bloody hate the ads and the magazine articles about 'cooking on a budget' - ffs. Like it's a war and it's our responsiblity to soldier on with handy home hints, and if we are starving, well, we should just budget better, even though THEY have told us that happiness means the bigger house, and the developer squeezes even bigger ones onto even smaller blocks that cost more yada yada yada.
I was out surfing the other day and felt happy as larry, realising that I don't need ANYTHING because I have this. If things got that bad I'd sell up and just live on the the interest from selling and live in a caravan. It's okay to have nothing.
Here there's more woman homeless than ever, but they are far more likely to live in a van. Yep, that'd be me. Fuck the bank.
I agree, but is it right? Should the having nothing be because a small group want everything?
The "live with less porn" is more marketing to increase profits, and not in the best interest of the people. Yes, living with less is a good thing in many respects, but the intention driving it is wrong at the moment.
If only I could surf...
