Though producers produce until they are red in the bottom (line), without consumers' acquisition of that produce there is no 'sink' available to the producers but a real or virtual landfill and a bankruptcy court. Not even a benevolent (or beholden) government can tolerate or support endless production without consumption of the product. Do we but appreciate it, we the customers (and consumers if we choose to be so) have potential control, not the suppliers.
