One thing that shat me about the bushfires at home was the shrill insistence that Australians were fantastic because we 'came together at this time'. FFS - what do you expect us to do?
The difference of course is that this was an unexpected semi-natural disaster.
Things are very different in the economic disaster we are all suffering at various levels.
I defy you to read this piece and not be sickened by the voraciousness of both the American corporate world and many consumers. And don't go kidding yourself that consumers in Australia or Britain would be any different.
