How do you value the ability to buy oranges at any time of the year? The ability to buy shirts of any color/size, within minutes? I don't know if I would agree

How do you value the ability to buy oranges at any time of the year? The ability to buy shirts of any color/size, within minutes? I don't know if I would agree that the quality has been going down, it really depends on how you define quality :).
Basically, I completely agree that it is tricky, and traditional hedonistic adjustments really are pretty poor approximations.
- Retric 10y agoIt's a really complex question. As a trade-off between really tasty oranges or good looking cardboard available year round I will take seasonal oranges. I used to love Oranges, but they have become so bland I simply stopped. As to clothing, I have bought cotton clothing that barely survives a single wash. Sure it's cheap, but it's like they started designing clothing to look good in your closet if you never wear them. It feels like your choices are 50 loads for 60$ or 2 +/-2 loads for 5$. PS: The sad thing is even orange juice has gotten worse. Fresh or frozen makes little difference they both suck.
- chris_va 10y agoRandom fact... Orange juice loses its flavor when pasteurized, always has. If you want "real" orange juice, you need either fresh or cold (high pressure to sterilize) pressed, which you can now buy.
