How about we begin by producing dependable goods once more if we genuinely wish to restore America’s greatness? Do you recall the lonesome Maytag repairman? Do you recall when we were proud to produce long-lasting, high-quality products? Do you recall when Ford’s tagline was created to endure? My upright freezer, which is more than fifty years old, is still in perfect working order.
In the last five years, we had spent well over $1,000 on two De Longhi coffee makers. They’re both in a landfill presently. I find it disgusting to consider the harm we are causing to the ecosystem on our planet in order for businesses to earn greatly from making things that break and need to be replaced every few years. Letting businesses know that they should be held to a higher standard is the first step in making America great.
