Why does nobody take good care of their stuff? | |
led_Dis_Spencer User ID: 84808431 United States 03/21/2023 11:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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.

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 |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80756814 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... |

Good quality product = eventually the selling stops or slows down Bad product = consumers for life “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. |

Isn't that, like...required by the trade? LOLOL!! You said it before I could. I've actually seen tables designed with the corners specifically cut The vocabulary here is being misconstrued.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84912372 United States 03/21/2023 11:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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... Quoting: N Rigger 79458248 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 |

You never regret buying the best is another. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79458248 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. |
