Processes are hollow and some AI isn’t making my life any better. Goods are junk and there are few examples of common physical craftsmanship in the marketplace. MAGA just want a well made jacket but they are on a life line of Walmart wages and goods. I get it. Rage is appropriate yet misguided.

Rage is not approprate in most cases. It gets your blood pressure and adrenaline spiking, but doesn't do anything to fix the problem. It probably makes it worse because it clouds rational thought.

Cheap goods have always been junk. Buy less, better stuff. Buy once, cry once.

What do you do when the expensive options are also junk? Relatively few manufacturers actually focus on quality today.

Regardless of price why buy junk?

Gruen transfer confusion.

That is something specific to shopping in a fabricated environment (e.g., a mall) I fail to see how that applies to buying a house/home.

I'm genuinely curious how you think we should avoid it? If I had to buy a household appliance tomorrow, or a new car, I cannot think of a single company I'd feel safe purchasing from.

Truly the response of a person of means who has never lived a life of do-withouts.

You clearly have not seen the King of the Hill episode where Hank tries to tackle his anger

At this point I seriously don't agree with you.

Considering cheap "junk" from China has gotten a heck of a lot better and competitive.

However the average good in the US has been overly inflated.

Self reflection would be more appropriate than rage. Buy less shit people don't need. Be more kind and compassionate.
