…i mean you raise a tremendous even larger point…how often does anyone really think about the makers of their consumption…the stories behind them, but also the story of the broccoli rabe getting to your maw (who farmed it, drove it, stocked it on the shelf)…it is crazy how moneymaking so quickly kills our story in the effort to shrink us to a bottom line…so much of life becomes mindless object hoarding consuming and injection…how much richer is an existence where all the real tendrils of our actions are witnessed to inception and completion point while honoring the creators…if i had to tell myself the story of all the foxxcon workers who made my iphone before i sent a mannequin meme to a buddy this device would be in the ocean by now…
