This. This is about as far as I'll go with any sort of guilty conscience. The amount of crap we throw out. Buuuuuuut, I feel the blame is more so on the manufactureres of crap goods for pure greed. Simple analogy, my 50 year old beer fridge in the garage...... In the time i've owned my home 15 years I've gone through 3 "newer" refridgerators in the house. Next time that breaks, I'm moving the ol sears kenmore beer fridge back into our kitchen, I don't care if it doesn't match the other appliances. Recently bought a used electrolux vacuum. 40+ years old. $80 and it sucks way better than the 9 dysons I've had prior.

Enough is enough, need more folks making quality products that last. Charge more. Sorry to the shareholders. Time for change in that department IMO.
