by the way, if you hadn’t included a picture of the shoes, wouldn’t know what they were. if someone left a pair on my doorstep, would toss the stinky loafers in the recycling bin.
Brilliant assessment and thought provoking........... if only the greedy and money chasing execs of these companies will admit that they don't sleep better for instigating this violence in the name of profits.............. shame on you ........... and you to MJ!
It's a bleak outlook for a lot of kids. They are so thirsty for a hero, just to touch something of a hero. I am so mad the hospital wouldn't let you in to see your friends because you weren't vaccinated. It is barbaric stupidity. Thanks for the story. I hope those guys are gonna be okay and that brutal attack doesn't get the best of them. It's amazing they lived through all those bullets. It sounds like the force of life wants to hear more from them.
Well, maybe this is easy for me to say because I've never bought a $115 pair of sneaks and I hope I never shall, but I think there were would be a lot less homicidal craziness out there if poverty were eliminated.
It will not be eliminated as long as humans give in to their darker side of greed, exploitation, etc. We are all being manipulated in one way or another to believe we must buy products in order to be "happy". This has been going on for a very long time and people went along with it. Once society has committed to following this path, it's very hard to reverse it.
This kind of marketing directed at children is as old as television, and probably older. While there has always been jealousy directed at those who were affluent enough (and shallow enough) to pay extra for a logo, the escalating violence accompanied the breakdown of families, and the resulting destruction of values and character that's plaguing today's inner city children.
I have said this here before.. and I wil keep posting this probably for as long as I live... , because from my perspective there is NOTHING more important than children, how we perceive and treat them...
MONEY HAS REPLACED HUMAN VALUES

"We are faced with a breakdown of general social order and human values that threatens stability [and survival] throughout the world. Existing knowledge cannot meet this challenge. Something much deeper is needed, a completely new approach. I am suggesting that the very means by which we try to solve our problems is the problem. The source of our problems is within the structure of thought itself."
~ David Bohm (1981)

NOTHING will change fundamentally, until we fundamentally change the way we perceive and treat children. Until then, we will continue to see childhood adversity re-enacted upon EVERY aspect of society.
Furthermore, #childhood #adversity more often than not consists of imposing utterly INSANE societal standards of "normalcy" on children, to which they MUST conform, in order to survive, at a time when they are too young to understand and reject the madness being imposed on them.
The "masses" are essentially clueless and unaware of their own conditioning...
“The total neglect or trivialization of the childhood factor operative in the context of violence and the way it evolves in early infancy sometimes leads to explanations that are not only unconvincing and abortive but actively deflect attention away from the genuine roots of violence."
this is pathetic, it’s a zoo out there.

Great insights. Very good writing.

They are both doing well, thank God

Very true. I go into the history of marketing in a few of my essays including I Dream of Musk https://khmezek.substack.com/p/i-dream-of-musk-6b4, and Happily Slipping into our Straitjackets, about the pharmaceutical industry: https://khmezek.substack.com/p/happily-slipping-into-our-straightjackets

Well said, as always.
Healthy habits do not require a lot of money, but people sincerely believe they do.
