Topic: World is full of things what nobody dont need just too much - page 2. (Read 724 times)

I totally agree with you. We have bocome a society of consumers, in a sense, we are made to buy things that have no essetial values to our life. Your reflection on our consumer society and the impact of advertising resonates with a broader societal observation. The influence of advertising on our desires and purchasing decisions is sinking in modern life. Many of the things we acquire may be unnecessary, because we could live without them, This raises an important point about mindful consumption.

I like your suggestion of redistributing old and unnecessary items to those in need or selling them, because it aligns with the idea of reducing waste and promoting sustainability. That encourages a more thoughtful and intentional approach to consumption, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between genuine needs and the influence of external stimuli. It's a reflection that reminds people of considering the impact of their choices not only on their lives but also on the broader community and the environment.

We are a society of consumers, advertising affects everyone equally, you see something, they convince you that you need it and now you want to buy it. Not long ago I watched a film, if I’m not mistaken, it’s called Things, but I could be wrong, it really reveals the essence of our society and in fact we can do without most of these unnecessary things that we constantly buy. Old unnecessary things can be given to those who need it more, or sold, but they should not be stored unnecessarily.

Precisely! Who doesn't want to buy things they want for their self or family? all of us are working here to achieve everything that we want that's why I don't see anything wrong in purchasing things even if it's not essentials, as long as it gives us a happiness and fullfillment, i will consider it as important things to my life.

OP don't forget that human needs are insatiable, people will always need new products. If a need is satisfied another one is naturally triggered. I don't the source of your information or how you got the inspiration to put up this thread because it lacks some basic facts. Luxury goods will always be available for those who can afford them, and old products will be dumped. Your assumption that the price of luxury goods will fall in the future is not true because there will always be people who can afford it. You should also know that the price will never fall because of the cost of production. Most of these luxury goods are expensive to produce and you don't expect the manufacturers to sell the product below the cost price.

I want to also advise that if your basement is filled with clothes that you don't need anymore you can donate them to NGOs so that they can be distributed to people that need them. Prisons in my location will be willing to receive such clothes because many inmates don't have clothing materials. The truth is that the rich will continue to buy what they want and the poor will be satisfied with their basic needs.       

heck even when oil was over sold and contracts ended and no one could take in all the oil so they had to resell it quickly at minus price barrels.. the retail price of car fuel NEVER went into the minus

As you say it's about meeting satisfaction and the OP can't be a great measure of how each individual interests differ from what is needed.  The OP goal may be to make people more aware of unnecessary  purchases but that doesn't mean every item name will be put  on the trash list. This is only an option if you want to buy it and if not please throw  it in the trash.  Actually it's not complicated  people already know and OP doesn't provide any solutions Satisfaction, hobbies even just  eliminating  curiosity.

The car collection of the 29th Sultan of Brunei is the largest private car collection in the world, consisting of approximately 7,000 cars, which have an estimated combined value over US$5 billion.[1] Within his collection of cars, the Sultan’s collection of Ferrari F40s, McLaren F1s, and Rolls-Royce vehicles are particularly notable due to the rarity of the vehicles and their value.

That’s how the world is structured, someone buys, and someone sells. The financial system is designed in such a way that people have to work and produce goods and services, and this is basically what economics is, and I also forgot about taxes, where would we be without them.  I agree about garbage, in developed countries they are effectively fighting it, whereas in other countries they only talk about it and do almost nothing about it.

Everyone who works to be able to earn income to meet their family's needs and also their desires to be fulfilled, of course there is nothing wrong with them spending their money on their desires because they have worked so it is natural for them to enjoy the results of their hard work, yes we can't judging someone about the use of their income, of course they have thought carefully about what they are doing for themselves.

I think life is all about choice, despite the world is full of junk according to you. I think it's not a must to have them. Every thing produce in the market is useful perhaps not to every one. When yo don't have money or when we are not rich we criticize things we can't afford. But when we are super rich we think of having them all.  Despite the world is full of things we don't want according to you. We still need to embrace technology. Because this advancement in technology is the reason you were able to afford the type of phone you are using now.

Let take for example iPhone 4 was expensive when it came to the market and now upgraded to 14pro max, and not everyone would have been able to purchase it if the price was stucked uptill date. But due to the upgrade from time to time, the price of the previous becomes cheap and affordable. And many where able to afford it. If there were no innovation on steady basis how on Earth would you have affordable the type of things you have achieved today? I think civilization is making us to achieve things we can afford. So I think civilization and creativity is giving us room to benefit things we can't afford.

World is full of goods and products specially brands clothing and Even the luxury cars.

In the law of supply and demand no matter If rates goes lower things prices can fall.

Now there is problems where to put all those cucci Versace or other high brands products.

There is no space anymore for that and Even Luxury cars the world is full of those.

By supply and demand you should get one lambo for 50Usd or maybe Even for Free.

That's the secret but nobody don't talk about it world is over.

Supplied there is too many goods but hard to storage them or destroy.

And Even food the world is full of food even good food goes into waste.
And If we look at all those eshops like ebay amazon we have situation when supply is way higher then demand.
They produce more but we have allready too much just too much
And If the fed will cut again rates our planet will be Even more full of the trash and we will be oversupupplied of anything and now the Western countries are full of goods and a lot Luxury brand items and clothing what nobody don't really need yet the prices are high but sooner or later Luxury goods and items prices will fall becouse world is allready full of those.
Even myself ... And many people who i know ...all my basement IS full of clothes becouse i buy every Christmas time brand clthings ...and i have nowhere to put them.
The clothes they get old and you don't want to wear them so you end up full House of just the old brand clothes and that's not just me but a lot people have Same problem we collect things more then we need it.

Yup, everyone is working hard to sustain their family and entire life and the things they purchase is their needs and wants so it's absolutely important to them, In fact they use their own money just to buy the things that they really want to have and there's nothing wrong with that. Most of the time, even those in the lower/middle class family, they have enough fund for their leisure which is we all know that it is not considered as essentials in life, but for me, if a person has a capability to do everything regardless their financial status, then let them be and don't judge them.
