Hoarding is the Great American Disease. You see toxic symptoms of it in every strata of society. I don’t really know how to address it, but I think we have to. It’s not enough to just Marie Kondo our way out of it because it’s a mindset that’s bigger than the individual
And individualism is one of the causes. The “it’s mine” culture. You can’t tax my money, it’s mine. Let me put it in the Cayman Islands so you can’t take it. Yes, it sparks joy. I earned it fair and square. It’s the same mentality as someone with a house full of rat-eaten dolls
It’s the same feeling behind no, you can’t come to my country, it’s mine. Never mind that America is HUGE and mostly empty, and the jobs that most immigrants do are either jobs that Americans don’t want, or jobs that America failed to train people for because Education ain’t free
