Obviously we are going to have to have a Cultural Revolution to change Your thinking and the thinking of people like You who think they can just manufacture and consume their way out of this. No, think 1820. Think standard of living. People like you and your Bourgeoisie thinking are going to have to change so that we can all simply live. We could start Your re-education right now by having you view this TED lecture on living The Simple Life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DE9qBNMaFY -Buck
