my pet peeve
The throw away economy. I'm so tired of poorly made objects. It's a waste of money and time, a major cause of pollution and it's shitty to have shitty stuff that doesn't work or falls apart.
( and how long is the vintage stuff I buy going to last? )
smaller pet peeve
the fucking people who throw food garbage in the cbd streets
Very much agree. Itβs all about maximum volume sales, maximum consumption, minimum possible manufacturing costs. If stuff is crap people will be forced to buy more, yay for the shareholders! Itβs hard to find quality items anymore even if you try and are willing to pay more.
