We should do whatever we can to keep people off of the tracks in the future. But that’s not mutually exclusive with pulling the lever right now, since the trolley is already heading towards people.

Seems like they missed the lesson of the trolley problem, then.

I’ve shifted to buying a lot of things used but I still can’t wrap my head around buying used clothing most of the time. There is an overwhelming selection of choices, and even if I sift through all of that to find the sort of stuff I need chances are it isn’t going to fit well.

Poshmark helps for some things, but only if it’s like a discrete, easily categorized item that I can clearly for (like a specific brand of hat, or a specific line of pants from a specific brand that I already know fit). I’m appreciative of brands that have started carrying their own used clothing sections - even though it’s usually more expensive it’s so much easier to wrap my head around.

Contrast that with things like electronics or household items which I go used for all day every day. I needed a rice cooker, bought a used Zojirushi off a local guy within a week, easy as pie.

I agree with that statement, but I also don’t know how to define where the line is where consumption turns into overconsumption. Any ideas?
