Yeah, I remember the big push for everyone to shop because it turned out that after a big traumatic event, people wanted to stay home with their families

But the government didn't like that, so there was a huge campaign to get us to leave the house and buy everything we wanted

Y'know, to show the terrorists they couldn't stop us from spending money!

also in general there is a push by the bourgeoisie for consumer consciousness instead of class consciousness in the USA. You're supposed to think of yourself as a customer 1st and a worker 2nd. You're only the worker so you can be the customer when you're out of work. And the customer is always right. You're only abused as a worker by customers so you can become the abuser when you're out of work. That's the ideology they want everyone to have. No class consciousness. No solidarity. Just atomized individuals throwing shit fits in McDonalds, couponing at grocery stores, trying to get wholesale deals.
