Abundance in America
Dan Pink's fearless criticism reveals and showcases America's strong attachment on abundance, extreme wastefulness, and want for aesthetics in places that need not aesthetics. "Self storage... has become a $17 billion annual industry in the United States". When US citizens have bought too many things they don't need they spend more money to get someone else to hold the stuff somewhere else for them. Abundance is so prevalent in America that we buy unnecessary things and don't even have them around us, furthermore we even pay someone to take it from us, this is ridiculous, wasteful and needs to stop says Pink. A toliet brush does not require aesthetics, all that should be expected of such an item is to clean, however a country soaked with abundence requires "a toilet brush designed by Michael Graves, a Princeton University architecture professor". American people are now looking for pleasure, happinies, and joy in items that need not to provide thoose things. Yet another way Americans show that they want everything.
