Mother is the dead heart of the family spending father’s earnings on consumer goods to enhance the environment in which he eats, sleeps, and watches the television Picture Quote #1

The teacher is commodified, the school is a shop, the subjects are consumer goods. To read, to think, to reflect, isn’t a question of want, it’s a question of need Picture Quote #1

Human beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and then discarded. We have created a ‘disposable’ culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression, but something new Picture Quote #1

We need to recognise that what really matters isn’t buying more and more consumer goods, but family, friends, and knowing that we are doing something worthwhile with our lives. Helping to reduce the appalling consequences of world poverty should be part of that reassessment Picture Quote #1

I think the biggest reason otherwise radical people don’t want to face the necessity of ending industrial civilization is privilege. We’re the ones reaping the benefits. We’ve sold out the rest of life on earth for convenience, creature comforts, and cheap consumer goods, and it’s appalling. I’m sickened by this bargain Picture Quote #1

The Communist bloc of old was a study in the failure of failure. Losers in the Soviet economy were the people at the end of the long lines for consumer goods. Worse losers were the people who had spent hours getting to the head of the line, only to be told that the goods were unavailable Picture Quote #1

Excess consumption doesn’t make people happy. We can continue to provide for our needs, but we can’t continue the endless pursuit of ever more consumer goods. There is no energy source that can provide enough consumer goods to meet our human and emotional needs; there never has been, and that’s why it’s been such a fruitless pursuit Picture Quote #1

For a long time, companies ignored the fact that 80 percent of sporting goods are sold to the casual consumer Picture Quote #1

Beats is inherently different: the company is a consumer electronics company but also a media company; a packaged goods company but also an entertainment company Picture Quote #1

Instead of investing in the goods as they pass between producer and consumer, as the merchant does, the businessman now invests in the processes of industry Picture Quote #1

The industry must adhere to certain consumer protection norms if the Internet is to remain an open platform for innovation Picture Quote #1

Opponents of health care reform would take away consumer protections - siding with the insurance industry instead of the middle class. We can’t afford that Picture Quote #1

I agree with people who say we want more income equality; we want more consumer protection; and we want sounder banks. I agree with all that Picture Quote #1

The question is how do you do it [more consumer protection] so that it actually works that way? And that takes analysis, and sometimes collaboration between government and business, to understand how that works Picture Quote #1

In California, we have some of the strongest consumer protection laws in the country. While it is easy to conceive of innovation and regulation as mutually exclusive, California is proof that we can do both. We can innovate responsibly Picture Quote #1

... immediately call on Congress to pass far-reaching industry regulation like the Firearms Safety and Consumer Protection Act ... [which] would give the Treasury Department health and safety authority over the gun industry, and any rational regulator with that authority would ban handguns Picture Quote #1

If President Barack Obama had not been in the White House, we would not have the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau today Picture Quote #1

I don’t think any business has to give up legal protections in order to simplify. The main consideration is that whatever protection, rights and remedies a corporation wants, they should be put in terms that are understandable to the consumer Picture Quote #1

What do the Republicans say? Donald Trump? They say they’re just going to roll back the Dodd-Frank regulations. They want to undermine the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Picture Quote #1

I think it would be a great tragedy to devote medical resources and genetic technological breakthroughs to purposes that are not to do with health or medicine, but instead are to do with satisfying the desires that are created by the consumer society Picture Quote #1

Criticism is hypocrisy; society is hypocrisy. I’m a tourist. I’m a consumer. I do the things that I photograph and can be criticized of Picture Quote #1

Shallowness and ignorance have been our lot in the mass consumer societies we inhabit, where we were too distracted to act politically, apart from periodically deputing political elites to take life-and-death decisions on our behalf Picture Quote #1

[The currency of being celebrity] used to be only the elect had any manna in the information society and everyone else was a consumer Picture Quote #1

Even though I’ve been an avid consumer of contemporary music since my early teens, the world of rock music has always been at something of a distance - I listen to it, read about it, I talk about it, but I’ve had little or no contact with its denizens Picture Quote #1

I have to understand how we are going to market the movie. We view marketing as an extension of content creation... Every time a consumer sees our movie, in whatever form, our obligation is to entertain the audience Picture Quote #1
