We do bring them used appliances and they recycle them. This is very good program.

I was the 2nd child of 6……..and it seemed there was never quite enough to go around……when you did get something new like a pair of shoes you really appreciated them and took the best care of the things you got.

I don’t mean the price as reflected in the retail price. I mean additional costs not reflected in the price that the poor must pay due to the lack of options the middle class possess. For example, welfare for both the big industrial farmers of such commodities as corn, wheat, soybeans and their fellow thieves such as processors like Archer Daniel Midlands and Monsanto. The subsidized roads and airports that facilitate food transfers from faraway places in machines powered by subsidized fossil fuels and ethanol. Fields artificially fertilized by subsidized natural gas.

Rather than criticizing the poor for the economical pursuit of the necessities of life, I say reform the economy so that prices reflect real costs both to taxpayers and environment. At that point, poor and middle class alike will be reduced to seeking the lower priced item which reflects reality. That is what ecological economics is about: the sustainable allocation of scarce resources.
