Thanks, sis!]]> You’re so quick, girl! I was just thinking of how to word out my next question to you over at the other post, about all things jihad! Hahaha!



Thanks, sis!

Great post!

Yeah, that ’buy more save more’ promo is a sleek marketing strat to get people to spend and spend. No promos are for free!

And credit cards are so oppressive. I cut my credit cards a few years back and I’ve never been happier! If only people will just read the FINE PRINT in credit card contracts, then they’ll know what quicksand they’re willing to jump into.]]> What’s orthogonal, Madhuri? Hehe... sounds like someone clearing his throat! LOL

:)lol]]> Oh, by orthogonal, I meant contradictory...when everyone is trying hard to sell more to consumers, you are proposing need based, less buying...

Great idea, reduce demand to control price rise...

It’s been a grand rip-off this oil and peak oil biz! It’s time we call their bluff! Serious!

LOL]]> Right, Madkat! Isn’t it a great blackmail strategy to those who rip us off our hard-earned money?

These oil producers very well know that when individual consumers all around the world come together and do this, they will be crippled to quadriplegic proportions! Their lifeline is really in oil retail.

Thanks for dropping by, sis!]]> LOLZ Asmita! Hope they really do come after me so I can raise hell about it! Hahaha!

Companies always create the inadequacy among people, manipulate prices and in the end it is the small timers who suffer the most. This also reminds me of cellphone networks. Encouraging us to buy recharge cards of higher denominations, so that people talk more and again end up buying more.

Over here, the streets are clogged with cars, hence traffic congestion, because practically every car company has a ”promo.”

The solution to our dependence on oil (which the oil producers are taking advantage of while laughing all the way to the bank) is in our hands.

We can really be less exploited by them if we want to.]]> Right, Jaiyant, the consumerist streak fueled by marketers and validated by economists is going mad.

I agree with what you said, but the problem is that consumers hardly stop to buy something, even if completely unnecessary. See the case of cell phones, MP3 players and so on.

It would be necessary to have a change of mentality, to make people cease to be consumers and to be just people.]]> Grace, I like very much of your metaphor, but now I want to eat omelette ...

Well, you might just be right, with people buying stuff without having a second thought.. And they cease to be people when they stop thinking.. And become zombies!

Yeah. I dunno which one we should diminish first: buyers or sellers. LOL

Everything seems to be intertwined with this law of supply and demand!

Welcome back, bro! Mwah!]]> Oh, Celso, welcome back! I hope your flu is gone. So, you’re here with the eggs, huh. I was looking for you over there at the anti-feminist thingy.
