I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.

    I agree that a house is not a home, but what do you tell people when you’re buying a “house” but it could actually be a condo or a townhouse? When I say house, people assume I’m talking about a single-family house with a yard, driveway, etc. Is there a better word to encompass different property types that can become your home?
