Sigh. Because people can't think critically, they're easily brainwashed by these companies. After all, YOLO (you only live once). It's materialism at its finest. People are not content with what they have. They always want more to fill the void, but that void cannot be filled with material things.

I'm just ranting about the capitalist world of today.
