Hyperconsumerism cannot exist without the baby-fication of adults and many of todays marketers are building the nursery for their corporate sponsors herding the consumer infants and branding them.

So you're blaming your inner child for having an inability to correctly budget yourself?

You're grounded. No internet or tv for a month.

I run a financial literacy & budgeting work shops for poor kids throughout this city. I'm teaching others to restrain their child like impulses in face of consumer capitalisms marketing onslaught. The vast majority of children dont think long term, marketers know this and thus seek, and have been very succesfull, making children out of adults.
