The population of this planet is driven by Consumer Capitalism, which is a linear (infinite) system on a finite planet. The engine of our economy is consumption and waste, which would be great if we lived on a conveyer belt instead of a single planet. Very simply put, we are bred like livestock. Our only value is our ability to consume. The flow of money from our pockets into the hands of our governments and corporations is the sum total of how we are defined. How much money can they take from us today? How much money can they take tomorrow? That’s it.

We exist as financial livestock. We create wealth in large numbers just as cattle create beef in large numbers. Our homes are basically luxury livestock pens. Our government and the corporations that control it exist only to take our money. They seek to influence every aspect of what we do in every moment of our lives – solely to get us to spend money. We are encouraged to debt at every turn, thus placing ourselves in a position of indentured servitude. This we are told that the items we consume will make us happy. We are cash making cows being herded and branded.
