Why does nobody take good care of their stuff?
Everywhere I look I see half arse work. Nobody does a good job of anything! Always the cheapest short term garbage work. Whatever happened to pride in your work? Disposable garbage everywhere! Just enough to make it last maybe 1 year. I hate the new generation...

I take care of all my things. I even keep their boxes, receipts and instruction booklets for everything.

Also, my carpentry work is outstanding with no corners cut.

We need a good depression to teach people the value of reality - real work, real food, real stuff, real money.

I see ads for stuff that is dilthy dirty and horrible and they act like thats normal. Bunch of unkept junk for high prices (I doubt they even change the oil). It's pathetic! Drive it till it breaks then sell it.

Doing a good job is down the toilet now. 30 years ago this wasn't so. It's the new gen of braindead morons that do the absolute minimum to get by. Like the little boy that complains about boomers...

That's intentional by the corporations.

If they don't keep producing they run out of business or slow way down.

Good quality product = eventually the selling stops or slows down

Bad product = consumers for life

That's true. But, making junk that quits gives them a bad name also. What I don't get is people sell stuff and say oh, it just needs this 20$ part and ask a normal price. JUST FIX IT THEN SELL IT A-HOLE! Oh can't do that huh...

People get the cheapest oil changes with reg oil for say 40 bux and do it 3 times in 10k miles when they could use synthetic for 55 bux and not change it for 10k miles again. Oh but I saved 15 bux... what a bunch of retards!

“Planned Obsolecence” I think it’s called nowadays. Public companies - capitalized by consumers. Ivy MBAs. We can stop it but don’t.

I see it in the construction business. Focus on the quick churning of pre construction analysis as opposed to building the house. Stupid “business” people. Notice in our colleges and in the workforce how valued a business degree is over a social sciences degree.

It’s backwards.

Money. It's because everyone does everything for the money. We don't build high quality anything anymore because that isn't profitable and pride isn't profitable. Selling is profitable. Eventually we will all be holding the bag. If taking pride in outstanding work meant anything anymore, you could stay in business without designing your crap to fail. See planned obsolescence and single-use tools for further education on this process. If we were actually trying to build something in a real manner you'd be able to tell

The best is commonly not the best these days though.

Watch enough Project Farm videos on youtube and you'll see the high priced crap is just as bad or worse.

Most products from different companies are just copies of each other with slight variances mostly all made in a foreign country, even for the high priced stuff.

Because they are pos's that have no pride and lots not even any essential dignity...which was hard to lose even for a hippie?

"Clouds without fathers" or ones where the psycho mom over ran everything, so they imitated the batch who gets her way or the schmuck who caters to it.

Switching to synthetic in a few thousand miles. I just never did the math on this expense. It seemed trivial until it's laid out in front.

If you have more than 75k on your car use the mobil=1 high mileage oil. I has added seal conditioners which will save you even more in the long run!
