It's SO COOL That H&M is Opening!!
The lines are apparently snaking around ten blocks downtown for the opening of H&M. Our own Erika Hobart will be here soon with exciting photos and news. On the bus this morning several passengers were a-twitter about it. One young woman from New York was telling her new best friend all about the wonders of H&M, and most especially how cheap it is. It's all this cool stuff and it's cheaper than anywhere else!
Not to be the most annoying party-pooper on earth (well, ok, yes to being that), but what the fuck is the matter with you people? Don't you realize that damn near everything that's screwed up right now can be traced to your insufferable appetite for cheap? Everything fucked up about the global economy arises from the massive sucking force exerted by people in the richest country on earth demanding cheap food, cheap clothes, cheap energy, cheap mortgages, cheap everything. The cheaper it is, the more they'll buy--dragging everybody down in the process. That's why the jobs are disappearing from your own country and why China is going to pollute the hell out the atmosphere while you demurely recycle your food scraps.
Then again, maybe I'm just pining from unrequited love for Naomi Klein.
