Just as some Boomers worship lawns and mowing lawns and cutting lawns up into little pieces, baking them in the oven, and reassembling the pieces, some Boomers worship making as much garbage as possible. Not making as much garbage as possible is seen as a waste of money, in accordance with the sunk cost fallacy. Because the garbage bill is already paid for, if tons and tons of garbage are not produced every week that already spent money will have been wasted. This means if garbage is not naturally produced then garbage must be deliberately produced to make up for the deficit, such as by wasting paper towels just to fill a trash bag or throwing away unused gloves because “a spider might be inside them”, or throwing clothes away and buying new clothes instead of washing the old clothes and then complaining about being poor despite purposefully throwing money just to fill a trash bag every week.
