Another random blog entry from our friends in space...
What is it with people and shopping?I never understood it when I was little. We'd go to another city and my family would go shopping at franchise stores identical to places back home. Same stuff, different place.
They'd also eat at franchise restaurants exactly like back home. Why not go local?
Seventy years later, and my grandkids visit me here at Tycho Base.
Straight to the mall they bound, Sharper Image and Macy's. Same crap they have dirtside.
Never mind the huge fees for dropshipping this consumermass from orbit. I think shopping without consciousness or awareness is a compulsion.
I really want to create a fake blog from someone living in a space colony, but I just don't have the time.
