I was listening to Dan Patrick, of all people, doing his sports radio show but he touches on many other topics.
He mentioned he had a relative or a friend who worked for an appliance company. That person openly stated that pieces and parts were designed to last no more than 4-5 years and that replacements would be made intentionally expensive and/or greater than the residual value of the appliance itself.
More garbage for the landfills and pollution to make new appliances. Not to mention globull warming. The treehuggers should get on that bandwagon. That would bring a lot of support they’re missing out on.
I know appliances don’t last like they use to... one repair person told me it was because most of this stuff was built overseas and they don’t have the same values as the old American companies.
Let’s hope Trump can bring back some of the old values - and I don’t mean ‘norms’ like the crap Clinton’s pushing.
