Consume Product

Just had to spend 10 minutes listening to an old black boomer at work talking about how he needs to buy more cabinets to store his collection of 900+ pairs of shoes.

He's got a 4 bedroom house, lives alone, and has at least one bedroom devoted to his shoe collection.

Later in the conversation, I told him I had 5 kids then he responded with saying he was done after two.

Guess he wanted to focus on more important things like consooming shoes.

You know we're cooked when an investment firm that makes money off trading fees and convincing you to gamble money on stocks is running a whole ad campaign that says, in essence, *"Eh, just be happy to be alive. You got a family? You're rich already. That number in your head that you need to retire? Yeah, forget about that. Better make the most of the health you have now and enjoy what you can!"*

I'm guessing we're still not allowed to say the hard "R" word -- *Recession!*
