think you're in the minority ... rant

Of modern consumers.
Your thirty-year-old records are 90% in Great Shape ?

Most modern consumers can't even manage to, or pay attention long enough, to take care of DVDs or CDs that they bought in 2005.

It has become an ingrained understanding that "Maintenenance" and "Care" are Nineteenth-Century sort of standards that modern striving and progress seeks to eliminate from current 'quality of life' concerns.

Most people spend lots of cash on things like cellphones and laptops that they don't expect to last more than 2/3 years at this point. Cars are designed so that even trained mechanics are mystified by the microchip-controls, and the quarterpanels and bumpers of the past--- which could survive a low-speed collision and be pounded out ---- are now replaced by "exploding" styrofoam and poly panels that are meant to be removed and thrown into landfill.

As loyal first-world patrons of the Multinational Corporations, we here are pridefully entitled to redesign the world in our own f**Ked up fashion and then quickly throw it into the dumpster. Simply as a matter of market-driven progress. Oh, and if this f**ks up the rest of the world in the process, well, let them worry about it. It's our entitlement.

One opinion.
