[quote:Charlie Frost:MV8xOTMyMjA4XzMyMzYzNDQyX0U4OUM2NDc=] I wouldn't call this a "conspiracy". It's a common business/production technique known more euphemistically as "quality". The business term of "quality" has little to do with how good/durable etc a product or service is - instead it's about producing something to a specification. Such a specification in the "consumer" market is generally very low to maximize profit and minimize material costs etc. The popular solution is to 'boycott' the companies that produce low quality products/services however in today's competitive market that is often difficult or impossible due to limited incomes (cash flow based) that reward thrifty spending in addition to the dog-eat-dog world of business competition. Whenever possible I favor more expensive but more durable products, especially if they are locally made. Over the years I have noticed that such products soon disappear from the shelves to be replaced by mediocre but higher selling items, so anecdotal evidence suggests to me that the public favor their pocket book over their conscious.

Ever wonder why newer products don’t seem to last very long…? Why were older products so durable and long lasting compared to the junk we’re sold these days? Are you tired of things falling apart and breaking down on you? Would you like to know why this is happening? Have a look at this documentary.
