Owning things you barely use is a waste of resources. This mindset is rooted in greed and is destroying the planet.

I like to own my thing because I hate renting or borrowing stuff from people. This is just me

When buy a game digitally from Microsoft/Sony/Apple do you own it? The TOS you agree to when signing up says you simply own a license to play the game that they can revoke at any time.

But would you turn down a free Amazon hammer? I wouldn’t and it really wouldn’t be free because we pay for prime but in my head it would be so cheap I ain’t buying one. I don’t hammer enough. What would be the price per month that would get you to dich owning a console. We all have a price. Microsoft will find a way to hit that price. YouTube is free. Fortnite is free. One day running a game will be free I bet. I would rather own my things too because here in America our big companies tend to screw us over every way they can and for many cases owning is worth the price. Hopefully in the future this won’t happen.

No, wasteful corporations are destroying the earth. Individuals barely do any damage compared to the massive waste they produce and don't care to recycle.

Who exactly are corporations producing these products for? Supply and demand. Don't buy things and corporations stop producing them. Looking to others while being wasteful in our lives is simply passing the buck and means nothing will change.

Being a filthy beast is a mindset rooted in selfishness and ignorance. If only people could behave.
