Maybe this is just perception, but it seems like even if income is going up, quality is going down. Most people cannot own a home with a decent commute in a major city anymore and most of the things we own are mass produced, throw away crap.
- chrisco255 8y agoThat's weird but I think that the quality of the products we own has gone way up in part due to online reviews.

A lot of things that used to be made out of wood or metal are now plastic, and are so inexpensive that it is cheaper to throw away and buy new than to repair stuff. Most furniture now is composites, because they are way cheaper than real wood. You aren't going to hand any of this stuff down to your grandkids. Other things are much better, though. Automobiles and Electronics are much better than they were 20 years ago.
