Overconsumption is a big issue already globally and 'world events' like Black Friday doesn't help a bit.. :blobcatscared:

Fashion influencers are getting more crazy than ever, online ordering and payments can be done with a single click / tab on the screen all for the goal of selling more and more.

I'm not gonna participate in this madness and I hope you also won't or at least buy something locally to support the small stores instead of Bezos with :amazon: for example..

@stux we used Black Friday to stock up on the things we already need (cat litter and food)—not the things we want. There’s no need to keep consuming like this, especially when supply chains are already stressed!

Somehow there are shortages of eggs, of medicine, of baby formula, but we have plenty of TVs on sale and ready to ship..

@tswan @stux Food shortages are partially due to fertilizer shortages and poor weather for growing (droughts, heat waves, flooding etc...) our farmland that was once producing more than enough for us is struggling to produce as much as they used to. Tvs dont suffer from that however.
