In Richland, all economic and social structures are geared toward the needs of the consumer (low prices, excellent customer service, 24-hour shop opening), which requires elimination of sacred high holidays and weekends, yet citizens are taught to think of themselves primarily as consumers rather than producers, allowing them to disassociate their multiple woes as producers from their expectations as consumers.

Evidence Quote
“In Richland, everything is geared towards the needs of the consumer: there must be low prices, that has to be excellent customer service, shops have to be open at all hours. Even though most people are both consumers and producers, in Richland, they are taught to think of themselves primarily as consumers. In their minds, their multiple woes as producers are carefully disassociated from the scale of their expectations as consumers.”
