    Ohhh I get it now, you don’t actually have a point to make so you just stop reading after the first line of a comment and downvote.

    There are soooo many things about capitalism to shit on but “I have to think about where I spend my money” really isn’t one of them. In any type of society, there will be good products and shitty products. Pretending otherwise is beyond delusional.

      i literally quoted and responded to what you had to say.

      the free market not doing what its said to do is literally one the main fucking things to criticize about it. this entire post is about having to think and pay way too much about what you buy and still getting disposable stuff.

      should i even keep responding to someone who doesn’t want to bother interpreting what i literally just typed out? i don’t think i will bother anymore. have a nice day.

        You ignored the rest of what I had to say to make an ignorant comment about the first line

        The “free market” is indeed broken but how on earth do you figure it was supposed to lead to top quality goods? The market exists for low, mid, and high quality goods.

        There really is nothing more to be said unless you want to explain how a different system would eliminate crappy goods from the marketplace. But I don’t expect you actually have an answer to that.

          please read what i already said again, and just think about how it relates with the things you just typed in this response.

            No market prohibits the production of shitty goods. I am stuck on that because it’s the specific thing you referred to in your first comment. You say capitalism fails to fix the problem which acknowledges it’s a problem - with or without capitalism. Because we live in an extremely connected world. We’re not limited to the craftsmen in our immediate vicinity anymore.

            The ease of transporting goods across the entire globe is why we have to do so much more work to identify the good products.
