There’s little in life LESS attractive than #HyperConsumerism & (particularly ’Merican’s 🇺🇸) constant craving to buy more, newer, cooler, etc.
Whether it’s the #opulence of wealthy, or the compulsion of the poor… just plain ugly.

Everytime I leave #TheAmericana, (a gross luxury mall in #LosAngeles), I'm reminded that as awful as #MayorKarenBass is, #RickCaruso would've sucked more.

A dystopian supermarket scene where people are placing orders at the register with various items on the conveyor belt. Signs throughout the store reflect a bleak, consumerist society: “Everything is a commodity,” “Cheap labor!” with sub-signs reading “Rent a worker $7.25/hr Aisle 6” and “Rent a prisoner 16 cents/hr Aisle 7.” Another sign advertises, “Companies! Want obedient workers? ADOPT-AN-EMBRYO to become your future employee! Aisle 8.” Shelves display bottled air for sale and a sign promoting “Cereal for dinner.” On the left, a section called “PICK-A-PARTNER” showcases dating partners behind glass, each posing while holding a heart. Above the conveyor belt, advertisements promote “SOMA happiness pills – Buy 1, Get 1 Half Off” and “Toxic Sour Gummies – Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6.” More ads along the checkout lanes read, “Why live long when you can die happy? – SOMA” and “CONSUME MORE THINK LESS,” with “MORE” underlined for emphasis. At checkout 1, an elderly person buys various items, while at checkout 2, a man purchases a woman from the “Pick-A-Partner” section, along with bottled air, poisonous food, bread, toxic gummies, and two Soma pill bottles. Near the exit, another shopper pushes a cart containing a woman he seemingly purchased. The illustration depicts a chilling critique of consumerism, commodification, and societal decay.
