I'm okay with people buying less cheap goods, for many philosophical reasons from reducing the environmental impact of our consumerist behavior to allowing us to realize that we don't need to fill our lives with stuff to make our lives feel fulfilling. That's part of what I alluded to when I said I was talking to someone who has similar views about materialism and consumerism. I'm deeply worried about the loss of jobs though, even if society doesn't seem to regard them with a lot of value, and what that will mean for individuals, for families, and for communities. I worry that too abrupt of a change will be too much for us as a country to handle.
