Yea I have seen this done, someone's trash that is sit outside many times only needs a little repair a can be resold or used we are too spoiled on buying high dollar stuff when some stuff can be refurbished at little cost its just another waste. We are taught to buy shit constantly to keep the economy going = brainwashing.
yep the main shit we really need is food/water, power, property
theres no need to constantly spend, theres no need for me to do alot of the painting and grassmowing i do either but the city ordinances wont let that fly and people complain about things that need a little bit of painting, and those city improvement cars that ride around will bitch about the smallest indescrepancy on a house and all they do is ride around all fuckin day lol
grass mowing is another huge waste, did you know that dandelions are edible and a higher form of iron than spinach, who knows what other health giving properties are in dandelions.. theres alot of natural /free food growing right in our backyards but we are never taught the important shit growing up
