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.

I think not.
I remember the last time I went to the store to get a toaster.
They were all in the same price range and all about the same quality. There was no option for an expensive toaster that would last fifty years.
You were shopping at a store with cheap products then.
So name it.
What is this store that sells high durability consumer products?
