Programming (bombarded to buy this useless stuff you can't live without, oh it's the greatest thing since heads on a post!) combined with faulty products designed to break and dispossable income. so the rich get richer and you get to go buy a new one and pay to get rid of the broken one...but that's ok, just go get a new one...if you can't afford it just use credit, what the hey, you really need it...whatever it is....huh? lol

I can't afford to throw things away, I have to repair them. When I retired I knew that the way we had lived before was going out the window. Now, even if I don't like it, I have to put up with fix it or forget it.

Yes we certainly are. Not to many years ago we used to get the TVs, vidieos etc.. repaired. If they go wrong now .. to the trash can and buy a new one. Yes a sign of the times we now live in.

A mindset we developed about twenty years ago, good economy, everybody that wanted to work had a job. We therefore had money to piss away. That destructive way of thinking hasn't changed yet, but it will.
