34. It's True - For More Reasons That They'll Say - But Only in the Short Term
It's not just a matter of not buying as many Things, it's also a matter of consumers having a nice little pile of "fuck you" money.

I'm convinced that a population in debt risks its moral compass. ie, turns a blind eye to unethical behavior - and there's a TON of it in the marketplace - out of fears of financial hardship.
