@adrianhon the fanboy consumerism so prevalent currently in the US would be charmingly parochial if it wasn't so dangerously contagious.

When large pools of people in a leading (wealthy, educated) country adopt certain ways and lifestyles this has profound implications elsewhere (it defines what "good" looks like).

E.g., long before #bigtech and the US love affair with #surveillancecapitalism people copied urban development and mobility patterns, with disastrous and still unpaid bills.
