To those who say that consumerism or ‘growth for growth’s sake’ is a problem to be ‘fixed’ by ‘Building Back Better’:

Tell that to the shipwright;
Tell that to the waiter;
Tell that to the furniture maker;
Tell that to the the maker of luxury cars;
Or of any cars.
Tell that to the shop-worker at Harrods;
To the struggling owner of a boutique store;
To the photographer for the glossy magazine;
Or of the big wedding parties;
And to the printer.
Tell that to the manager of the small but shishy café;
And the smart butcher up the road.
Tell the lights guy at the theatre;
Tell the tailer.
Tell all of them.
Tell them why you have ruined their present.
Tell their children why you have taken away their future.
Tell them - tell all of us - #WhyAreTheyDoingThis.

A nice illustration of the casual disregard of the lives and livelihoods of those dependent on a vibrant and functioning economy. He, of course, won't be one of the casualties. https://twitter.com/WooTube/status/1353360870051635206?s=20
