We have to buy and discard buy and discard buy and discard perpetually.
If we don't do that all of human society implodes.
It's pretty much that simple.

An example of this: "Black Friday". Weeks of hype about goods being reduced in price, which in reality is only a reduction of the mark-up over the real price, then what happens? We see people punching and kicking each other over a TV or an air fryer when they already have one at home but they're brainwashed into thinking they "need" a new one.
