Hi, I’m Frank Q. Esposito. I’m in my junior year here at Penn-State; I study Political Economy. I have a difficult time with mathematics; I’m taking this course for the GQ credit. I like to cook and garden. These hobbies require a stable and clean environment. My understanding of Sustainability, is the usage, of whichever resource should not outstrip the holding capacity of the environment. Resilience I’d define as being able to endure stress.
A note on future blog posts. I am a very pleasant and laid back person as you’ll come to know me in class. My blog will be focusing on the negative aspects of consumer culture. Specifically the choices students make in their actions and how they affect sustainability. For these posts I’ll be using an irate persona. The tone will consist of very dismissive and coarse nature. People’s intelligence, lack of foresight, and consumer choices ( Media, Clothing, ect) will be featured. I must mention to everyone at the start, something you may like, or even a core facet of your personality will come under fire. I harbor no special hatred, nor do many of the things I’ll be posting about even affect me in the slightest. While in the persona I’ll be posting with quotation marks and italics to let the reader know it is not to be taken to heart.
Say Hi to “Francis”
“Hello, I’ve come up with (saw a meme and stole it) a graphical demonstration of how I feel about about the student population’s choices regarding sustainability on campus.
As I hope is clear enough for you to read on your smartphone, my disgust with fellow students is roughly the size of VY Canis Majoris, a hypergiant star. Good job, it was a team effort. We’ll discuss how an immaterial emotion could occupy so much physical space later on in the semester.
For now I want you to think about how you might have contributed to this. To aid you I’ll post some contemplative music for you. No, its not the same four cord Taylor Swift, or that other blonde imbecile who humps blow up dolls on stage. Its non-consumerist vapor-wave. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY8IS0ssnXQ.

Political Economy is part Economics and part Political Science. I
Hi Frank, thanks for posting. So is “political economy” part of economics, or of politics, or of something else?
Hi, I look forward to your posts! Mac Demarco is amazing! You seem to have an awesome taste in music, but I must say Taylor Swift and Mr. Demarco are a lot more similar than you realize.
Here is an interesting song:
