The source, a Medium article titled "The World’s Largest Economy Is Built on Junk," by Mike Weisser, argues that the United States' massive economy is based on the consumption of unnecessary goods and services. Weisser illustrates this point by comparing the price of a cup of coffee at different locations and describing his observation of people purchasing bottled water despite access to clean spring water. He criticizes the over-reliance on manufactured goods and the high cost of internet and television services, suggesting that these expenditures are indicative of a consumption-driven economy that prioritizes convenience and luxury over necessity.
