       My mother always blamed our generation for being consumerist. She claimed that under the communist regime in Czechoslovakia, their generation had access to far fewer products and still managed to enjoy life.That's why I was quite surprised when she and her boyfriend became completely addicted to shopping at #Temu. They buy cheap crap and don't care because it's so cheap that they can throw it away and buy new stuff right away. Suddenly, it's our generation that looks like the responsible one.

       @sesivany as a sidenote it's important to remember - they enjoyed life not because communist regime is so anticonsumerist, but because they were young - same as me enjoyed Belarus despite its being a totalitarian hellhole
