The way she is being paraded around really makes me uncomfortable.
But she’s young, pretty, got a phd, experience in business, and her message is sooo corporate friendly.
Everything she is saying is completely obvious.
The underlying message is this:
The best way to adjust to coming resource shortages is for corporations to reverse their message their skills of manipulation to persade selfish consumers that sharing will make them wealthier. That way corporations can continue extract profit, consumers can continue consuming, and nothing very much needs to change at all.
Pretty Sweet eh?
