Why? Why are we consumed by consuming? Why do we have to make more things, bigger things? Why do we have to create jobs that are complete dead ends? What kind of progress will we get from hiring engineers to make water slides when they could be pondering progressive infrastructures and green buildings? We're digging and we're getting nowhere. I'd be okay with paying for something productive, but water parks? Baseball stadiums? Polar bear exhibits? Instead of putting them in cages, let's create jobs for people dedicated to finding ways to keep these beings alive in their natural habitats.
It's all backwards. And nobody seems to get it. Short term gains without consideration for long term consequences.
