17. And just think of all the money spent on mindless advertising
to convince "consumers" to buy some piece of crap. Or to prefer brand A dish soap over brand B. Or to change meaningless packaging. Tremendous waste of money. I've heard in the range of 1 trillion dollars now. Makes you wonder about the whole efficiency myth. Of course it is efficiency at making a profit so I guess it is accurate about that but man ... what a waste in the sense of the society as a whole.
