I never have and I don’t understand people who do, I see it come up when I search for things on google and the prices are not that much cheaper (except for random book sales). I guess the fast shipping is the main reason. I also stopped going to Whole Foods, I always found it very overpriced anyways and only went there for specific products. it’s actually very easy if you try, but most people are incredibly complacent. I have bought HAUS Labs but only from their own website, but I guess it might count if they are partnered? Idk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Human greed knows no limit don't put the whole human race inside the greed box that you're in. your greed and selfishness are completely yours. you won't share resources but you do share your greed with no limits, that's sad.

Greed doesn’t arise in the cavemen because they have better things to care about aka their survival . Once you come out of that stage and don’t have to worry about dying every 10 minutes, that’s when greed emerges. (See: lit rally any class-divided society). Life imitates art.

But the lower classes tend to look for each other, for survival reasons I guess. I think treating greed as an inevitability is a really sad way to view the world, there are so many people out there working actively against greed and people pretty much passing the same 20 dollars around to help each other out. People raised over a million dollars for protestor bail funds in the US these past few months. Is that greed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i’m not talking about that, i’m talking about the legit crowd funding campaigns that have housed people, paid for their medical bills and freedom, helped them get an education etc. Yeah there will always be grifters and scammers, but that doesn’t discount the fact that hundreds of thousands of people without a lot of money still shared what they had with their community.

As soon as we entered the class-divided society (slavery, serfdom, capitalism aka the exploited and the exploiters) that’s when greed began. Life imitates art.
