Where do people buy things that don't break? (hexbear.net)

Whenever I buy clothes they always end up getting holes quickly, I burn through socks fast, my bags keep breaking, my phones magically shit themselves and my chargers melt. I'm sick of everything being a wear part and I'm wondering where people get things that last.

So much stuff like that is just priced right out of the range any reasonable person would buy it. I feel like things that were very high quality and used to cost like 2x, 2.5x what the "cheap" versions cost, these days cost as much as 16x the price of the cheaper options, with some going way beyond that.

Just pure inflated price. I try not to take it personally, its just mindless undirected greed, but it really feels intentionally directed at the working class to keep us from having the same "stuff" as the wealthy idiots overpaying for everything
