RE: Cheap, Mass-Produced, Easily Replaceable

The fast-fashion movement is detrimental to everyone but the company who sells it. The customers who frequent these places end up spending much more money in the long run than they otherwise would if they bought quality products. Sadly, it's getting tougher and tougher to find true quality products at any price point, at least here in the U.S. In 2022 we spent nearly $5k on a new couch and recliner thinking they would last us the rest of our lives (they damn well should've at that price). Just two years later they're horribly uncomfortable, misshapen, and falling apart. We could've spent 1/5th that price at IKEA and had the same result. : )
