If they can have the prior by sharing, reusing or simply by giving/receiving (which ends up being sharing), they don’t actually need the money otherwise necessary to get it. It’s OK to let the consumer capitalism paradigm fall, as long as people can go on with their lifes and be happy.

Best regards,

André Coelho
