I'm a socialist at heart due lack of limited resources livable to us.

There is nothing wrong with consumerism. It does however need to plan for the long term. A number of "enlightened " business people in 19th century Britain built up modern towns around their factories and mills with schools, hospitals, churches and shops to provise healthy, safe places for the families of their workers. They understood that if they looked after their people, they had more chance of producong the next generation of workers and maybe customers for their goods as well. Modern business doesnt look beyond the next balance sheet..😷
