Stuff

If people had to shovel a pile of dirt equal to the weight of all the ‘stuff’ they own from Position A to Position B five feet away everyday, either that would:

1) strongly discourage conspicuous consumption (needless and wasteful ownership) by having people dispensing of a lot of unused ‘stuff’,

2) immensely strengthen a lot of people’s upper bodies and spur them to become expertly fast 'stuff' shovelers, or

3) induce people to replace their massively abundant ‘stuff’ with equally useless but lightweight, miniature stuff.
