Radek Pogoda described a list of priorities that he attributed to his great-grandmother: a full pantry, healthy children, a safe home, produce from the garden, family meals, and kind relationships with neighbors. He wrote that achieving such a level of life was a great success in the past. According to Pogoda, in the 20th century companies began to present modest homes, old cars, and home-cooked meals as sources of shame to encourage people to buy new products. He also claimed that the rising cost of living forced both parents to work, and later, companies sold them, among other things, childcare and ready-made meals. Pogoda assessed that the former satisfaction with a simpler life began to be labeled as poverty and lack of ambition, and people were sold aspirations related to a bigger house, a car, and a wardrobe. He wrote that this way an endless cycle of consumerism was created. #refleksja #życie #prostota (translated)
