Perhaps one reason for this complacency is the large quantity of material goods available to the chain gang.
Material goods are often used as compensation.
Frequently, when someone is depressed, the advice is "Go out and spend some money.Buy yourself something nice. Treat yourself. Try a little retail therapy."
People don't seem to realize that this attempt to feel good is exactly what propagates the problem.
Compared to people just 50 years ago, modern wage slaves live a life of material abundance.
They're consumers.
They have big-screen TVs, movies on demand, microwave ovens, food processors, and 24-piece flatware.
They own multiple pairs of shoes and enough clothes for more than a week without doing laundry.
They have carpeted floors, matching furniture, and vacuum cleaners.
They have expensive toys.
They have car payments,college degrees, five-bedroom/three-bathroom mortgages, laptop computers, cell phone contracts, power tools with 108-piece bit sets, premium cable, air conditioning systems, blenders, food processors, pool tables, DVD players, and granite countertops.
They redecorate, attend sporting events, go on vacations, and occasionally play with their toys.
造成这种自满情绪的原因之一，或许是连锁帮派可以获得大量的物质财富。
物质财富常常被用来作为补偿。
当一个人情绪低落时，人们经常会建议他 "出去花点钱，给自己买点好东西。给自己买点好东西。尝试一下零售疗法"。
人们似乎没有意识到，这种试图让自己感觉良好的做法恰恰助长了问题的蔓延。
与 50 年前的人们相比，现代的工资奴隶过着物质丰富的生活。
他们是消费者。
他们拥有大屏幕电视、点播电影、微波炉、食品加工机和 24 件餐具。
他们拥有多双鞋子，衣服足够穿一个多星期而不用洗。
他们有地毯地板、配套家具和吸尘器。
他们有昂贵的玩具。
他们有车贷、大学文凭、五居室/三浴室抵押贷款、笔记本电脑、手机合同、108 件套的电动工具、高级有线电视、空调系统、搅拌机、食品加工机、台球桌、DVD 播放机和花岗岩台面。
他们重新装修，参加体育赛事，外出度假，偶尔玩玩玩具。
