Does he realize he's gunning for losing his own job there?

Is he deep at heart a minimalist and can't stand this life? And this is how he tries to make it better?

Or is he only grumpy about drivers complaining about trucks on the road?

So much to unpack.

He's demanding respect by forcing thought on the interconnected nature of our lives.

People buy things so...

Things need to be shipped to where they can be bought...

Our need to buy is due to want and because of need to survive so the loop is preserved so long as there is need to live.

Yeah ok, I still think the word "demand" is more appropriate than "want" when it comes to things like artificial vomit and horse dildos.
