When we woke up next day, things were a bit different that how we “left” them: they looked old, not enough good for use and outdated. We find it really weird, but when we went outside with our clothes (that suddenly started to don’t match with each other and that were full of defects that we hadn’t noticed at all until that day) and saw that it had happened not only in our houses but with everybody, we started panic. Even my t-shirt that I had just bought on the previous day because I had a crush on it looked old and ugly!
Until that day, with the end of the war, life in the United States had began to return to normal: Soldiers began to came home and find peacetime jobs, industry stopped producing war equipment and began to produce goods that made peacetime life pleasant… People lived happy with what they had, things had a long durability and we used to use them as much as we can because we knew how life was hard because of the war. The American economy had everything to become perfect.
Well, sometimes “perfect” isn’t enough so, still government and corporations weren’t enough happy about it. Unfortunately, we had realized it too late. In fact, things only went worse and worse; people had to shopping almost every day, and it was never enough. We just shopped and shopped and shopped and we couldn’t stop. All Americans were becoming addicted. And with all that (things that weren’t never enough, that get old too fast), there was more and more garbage per capita, and we don’t even remember anymore from that conspiracy.
