My follow up curiosity: how can we find success & sustainability in meeting our basic needs and security by turning our backs right back on global industry (and government) by working inward within our local communities?

Runaway consumption is a choice by individuals.
Many of my friends just seem to be like Coneheads. That was not how I was raised. I dislike buying anything, unless I really have to.
My phone is 4 years old, another in my family is from 2017. My car is almost 20. I refuse to buy shit just to have something “new”.
Don’t blame the seller for what the consumer wants (except for all the dark patterns, marketing BS, etc - now that I can squarely put on the companies, and would like a return to tighter controls, and stronger legal options).
