The Wonderful World of Plastic


I am a fella that tends to try to suck every ounce of life out the items I have.  I have a lawn mower that is hanging on by a thread with a nasty speed wobble from hitting the city water outlet on more than one occasion.  I have a car with a front bumper held together with scotch tape and zip ties, and a T-shirt worn to rags that I won’t retire because I screen printed it myself in 1994.
Therefore, it isn’t a stretch to assume that I appreciate good quality. I must say, the quality of products these days are an exact reflection of a disposable world drenched in massive consumerism, mediocre to downright poor workmanship, and so on and so on.
After breaking about the 9,000th plastic widget for my lifetime trying to fix the car the other day, I can honestly say I am completely fed up with the state of society’s attitude.

  1. I know exactly what you mean, We are constantly being drown by a sea of our own garbage and lack of workmanship. The only thing that seems to matter to most company's is bottom dollar and the only way to fight the war against them is to not give them a red cent to help build that bottom dollar. I tend to have a running black list of places I no longer buy at.

  2. I agree with you, the only way to beat it is to not buy the garbage. We can win this one consumer at a time
