> Whether you choose the luxury option, the commodity option, or something in between, you are buying future garbage. I think this is one of the biggest differences between today and when our parents grew up. When something was made back then and when someone bought it, it was bought with the expectation that this should last. And it did. It probably still works and could probably be used by you if you wanted to use it. Basically decades (or in some case centuries) of durability. Contrast that with today. If you buy something this year, servicing it next year will be unprofitable compared to throwing it away and buying a new one. Take a wild guess at which is the eco-sustainable one. I wonder if or when the pendulum will swing back and we will try to strive for durability, and just how bad things needs to get before we understand that we need to go there.
