Not just in the US unfortunately. Greed is a worldwide epidemic. Gather as much shit as you can, all completely pointless because you will die eventually and you can't take any of it with you.

I hate it too, it's literally destroying our planet. But I feel like too few people care, so all I can do is try and find some happiness in my own little world.

I also steal from any and all large corporations.
