Unrelated to topic but what you mentioned there is happening because manufacturers changed their business model. Before, they competed for customers trying to provide best possible product. But after few decades they realized that customers won't buy their products if they keep making them durable. Also price drops contributed to this.
These days it's about mass production and selling as much as possible. And it's accellerating to a point where I believe we won't choose to buy stuff anymore, we'll rent it instead because it pays off more.
This isn't plaguing just cheap products. Do you know that those pricey LG OLED TVs lose half of their brightness over 3-5 years period? And while you could change backlight on your old LED or CCFL TV, in this case you'll have to send it back to factory and pay for it because every year warranty becomes shorter and they even raise the amount you have to pay for prolonged warranty.
In North Korea common people don't own anything because it's forced on them. Nothing won't be forced on us, they'll make it look like natural disasters (those famous floods in Asian factories) and present it to you as a choice of yours. But in the end, we won't own anything in near future just like commie Koreans today.
Lol cause i don't buy anything
Literally haven't bought anything but food and video-games for over a year. Not even a single pair of socks. ( EDIT: Christmas presents and such, don't count ) My oh my... Will have a look at those new Play-Stations - need to contribute to economy somehow
On the other hand, i am an eager supporter of the small local businesses - pizzamen know what I eat, and how I like it: No.91 with extra cheese and chili, and make it hot, god damn you, make my asshole plead for mercy the next day!
Yeah, and I like drinking Cocio - a godly beverage! When i become a millionaire, i will install a direct pipeline from the factory, so i have it running like tap water.
No, it's not good enough! I will buy the damn factory and live there. So i can go swimming in a giant barrel of warm Cocio every morning, before it's being bottled, and i promise to take a piss in it every time. It will not be enough to spoil the product, but will give me a certain satisfaction. And i will have two beautiful women licking me clean, when I am done swimming. Yeap. That's an every-day-life for the rich folks!
Wait! I will also need a human-bench - a person who will follow me everywhere, so i can sit on him every time i need some rest. And a midget assistant, with a hat formed as a serving plate ( to serve Cocio), and a second hat with an ashtray installed at the top. A midget assistant could, of course, combine the two jobs, and be my human-bench too, but it would spoil my style! And Armpit does not settle for anything but the best!
