Why are American citizens called "consumers" in economic statistics? Don't people realize that's incredibly degrading and dehumanizing, basically a livestock label or worse?

>> No.56344037

consumers are people who consume
investors are people who invest
debtors are people in debt
...
if you want to stop being called a consumer than stop consuming.
Consumption is a liability anyways.

>> No.56344049

Having your life revolve around buying and consuming plastic garbage made halfway across the world makes you into a degraded human. The label fits

That's another dehumanizing label too, arguably worse than being a consumer. Why was the corporate position of "HR" called human resources in the first place? Does the average person seriously not notice these things?

It's a technical term that's fine in a technical discussion. It's weird when people use it outside of that context.

You're a producer when you're at work (unless you're a mcwagie) and you're a consumer outside work.

because they're cattle. also funny to think about how economists and jews view geographic regions as economic opportunity zones.
