For me, what's poignant about the photo is the way it "emblemizes" how FUBAR the country is as a result of rampant consumption and irrational exuberance

...And then, it also feels like a book-end to this.

From Newsweek slide show, "The Bare Market."

Far too many companies expanded fast on less then a stable growth model, with the hope that the "consumer society bubble" would last forever. Instead of buy it, trash it and buy new, we are going to be seeing more and more of buy it, use it - repair and use it more.
