>needs

If I tell you that you have a need to purchase an eleven foot swimming pool for you back yard, and if you dont have a back yard you now have a need for a back yard, how long will it take for you to believe you have a need for it? How many of your peers would it take to have the same, and for them to tell you that this need has to be satisfied.

What does that mediation upon "needs" mean?

We know about Maslows triangle of actual needs, comfort, security food. But what about all these other "needs" - people do pay to have these somewhat manufactured needs satisfied. This is how a profit driven world works.

It needs happy docile obedient workers, that are "not ashamed to be driven by profit" so do their ills with a clear conscience.

"I'm just working here"
