I live in the low income end of the city and there are 3 second hand stores here where people can donate used clothes or other goods which are resold for cheap. Lots of people use them to setup new apartments, buy work clothes, or just to find weird stuff or antiques.
What happens if everything is rented? All gone, along with the employees. More garbage in the dump, more support required for the poor to go to Walmart.
What happens to fixing stuff if everything is rented? Do we actually think that companies would bother to repair when they can just charge you for the item and destroy it?
They have a system planned with a catchy name that involves reuse, repair, repurpose, etc. The corporations own the actual materials so if it gets stripped down to materials and remade again, it's still owned by that same corporation.
They will decide what we should have for the sake of the environment. Not to mention the quality of it, the amount. All in the name of a more 'equal and fair' planet. You can start to see how you might be eating bugs all of a sudden.
Imagine how this will affect charity.

Not a very "green" policy...

Klaus said that "Stakeholder Capitalism positions private corporations as trustees of society". Which is from the 1973 Davos Manifesto
