Nothing lasts anymore, y'know planned obsolescence and whatnot but like seriously where do I buy stuff that lasts, I'm talking everything from clothing to appliances, etc

Also clothing companies with lifetime warranties would be good

    A lot of research is also put into figuring out what the minimal length of time a customer will tolerate for a product’s lifetime.

    What an absolute waste

        Yeah but ignoring the massive waste in garbage, pollution, energy use, time, etc. Why would a company want everyone to buy something every 6 years when if they made it cheaper people will now buy it every 2 years and be almost as happy?

        In order to reform the current system, longevity needs to be rewarded and short lifetimes disincentivized. Or you know, just fully change the system of production.
