That's what bugs me the most about our Free Enterprise system, companys try to reduce manufacturing costs in order to increase their profit-margin, unfortunately reducing manufacturing costs isn't without it's detriments, the cheaper you make something to build the less reliable it is, or the quality reduces, there is always some kind of tradeoff, it's funny how some old things keep on working when some new things break down within days of being bought.

And then you see piles of those broken new thing ending up as landfill.
