Buy big and lots of stuff stores. People love the huge discount stores we have, we tend to pick up more items than we need while we are there. Then the level of obesity of the remaining population, the people not exercising and overeating to the point they could not move around by themselves. So many levels of the movie pointed to a place we don't even want to think about going, yet we are on the way. The movie pointed out some painful things in our lives.

He was concentrated on finding life, while cleaning up the trash left behind. Kind of single-minded purpose, to me. I think Wall-e was very minimalist.

Not seeing the connection either. Wall-e spent his time compacting trash but also collected a good bit of trash for his “home” as well. Not seeing the connection either.
