I mean, you keep saying "cheap Chinese" have you seen the build quality of say Tesla lately, have tried to get one serviced? We are in an age of disposable everything, and it isn't just the Chinese with poor build quality, this reduction in quality is driven by the private equity acquisitions and quarter over quarter demands. And this attitude that is ruining production and produced goods in all markets. When you can't innovate or continue to grab more of the market, the only way to increase profits is to reduce cost of production. And you end up with a shit quality product.

It is so disgusting to see just limitless amounts of "products" that are made without any shred of care put into them. And it isn't just the cheap garbage infesting everything, even if you pay quite a bit of money the thing you get will still have obvious cut corners. Clearly the engineers are completely capable of better, but making something work more reliable is just the company loosing money on the margin and on spare parts. I have to say I am very glad that I am not working on consumer products.
