This only works because our economy is completely ecologically illiterate. It’s institutionized theft from the future.

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

Also, this preference for cheap junk is at least partially manufactured, in the same way that “consumer preference” for giant SUVs is: advertising plus a paucity of alternatives.

Eh I'll never forgive the public for killing station wagons because they were "uncool", despite being better in literally every way as compared to SUVs (Also they're still cooler)
