Your toaster dies the second you unbox it. Pants rip on day one. The quality of everything is trash now. This is what bigheaded people call enshittification. Companies deliberately design products to break right after the warranty. This is due to the so-called “Hunt for Infinite growth.” Steady profits ain’t enough. They need MORE, so they skimp, shrink packages, and shove everything behind subscriptions. Infinite growth is a plague, and it hurts your personal finance.

They can afford it. That’s the thing. If you quit buying garbage from Walmart and save. I get what this sounds like but I see the CARTS of garbage being bought by poor people in Walmart. Some people are trained to squirrel away anything with a clearance label. Mounds of clothing that will all look like shit and fit like shit after a wash (to be never worn again).
