Using the television as their primary tool, very-high-level marketers have managed to create a nation of people who typically:

work almost all the time
absorb several hours of advertising every night, in their own homes
are tired and unhealthy and vaguely dissatisfied with their lives
respond to boredom, dissatisfaction, or anxiety only by buying and consuming things
have disposable income but can’t find a more fulfilling line of work without losing their health insurance
create health problems for themselves, which can be treated with drugs they can “ask their doctor about”
own far more items than they use, and believe they don’t have enough
are easily distracted from the unhealthy state of their lives and their culture by breaking news and celebrity gossip
perpetually convince themselves it is not the right time to make major lifestyle changes
happily buy stuff that breaks within a year, and which nobody knows how to fix
have learned, through the media’s culture of blame-mongering, that the key to solving public and private issues is to find the right people to hate
