    we’re right back to the Vimes’ boots theory – it’s not that shoppers don’t care about the destruction of the planet, it’s that they have no other option – when your choice is shopping at Walmart or freezing your ass off, telling them to just buy less ain’t gonna cut it

      It’s funny, boots theory has been largely retired since the rich can no longer get the kind of quality that lasts decades. They could certainly afford it, it’s just not available for purchase - capitalism killed it off.
