Great insight.

Here's an even more unsettling implication: imagine how basically everyone in the world doesn't want all this shit being mailed to them, and yet, for the reasons you say, we just live with it. So it's this insane idiot dance of them mailing you shit (which they would prefer not to do) and you getting the shit (which you would prefer not to get), and throwing it instantly away, and it accumulating in landfills (which we would all, collectively, prefer to not happen).

None of the participants are happy with the outcome, and yet we continue to produce eight zillion tons of garbage while we all soak in it. The human condition, ladies and gentlemen.
