EVERYTHING manufactured today SUCKS.
This has been a public service announcement.
I gotta agree with this one.
If you think this, stop buying the cheapest crap you can find. Quality costs. If you want it, pony up.

You only cry once when you buy the best. At least for things that don't get consumed...
Gary,is it allways about the dollar? I know I've paid way more than some things are worth on the market,but, I wanted it and I got it and I'm happy. I dont want to go to me grave with tons of money and even more regrets/wishes.Your point seems to read like mine. Less product, less quality, for more money. This is part of the reason I clone rockets, ( OOP at best ) Ive run out of OOP's mostly. this is why I design my own rockets. The selections aren't that great, I can make better designs than what's available, I can do it for pennies on the dollar.....Is this common sense at what?

But Ill tell you what really *$&&!%# me off; $100 hiking boots that CAN NOT be re-soled.[/QUOTE said:I bought 1 pair of shoes with glue on soles. Never again.
I only buy repair/replace Goodyear welt construction.
I am very fond of Irish Setters, Elk Trackers & Wing Shooters.
But they too, have some glue on soles which are comfy and nice looking. Just NO WAY.
I feel for ya.
And cost 10X as much, 3-4 times as much when adjusted for inflation.Obviously not everything manufactured now sucks. There are plenty of great high-quality manufactured goods out there. One thing I've noticed over the years is the longevity of cars now as compred to years ago. You used to have to do far more routine maintenance than you do now, and even then, a car with 100,000 miles on it was getting pretty old. Now they last a lot longer, use less fuel, run cleaner, have more standard features, etc.
Three top rated, name brand point and shoot digital cameras in eight years.
Meanwhile my 25 year old Pentax point and shoot film camera still works perfectly.
Three top rated, name brand DVD players in same period of time.
Meanwhile my25 year old, vastly more complex, VCR is still going strong.

There definitely is a lot of crap on the market too, and our landfills are full of wasted resources turned into garbage merchandise, then grown away. But a blanket statement that quality has gone out of everything is wrong.
You would not believe how many people called in saying that those old Detroit Iron cars were safer than todays modern vehicles.
I would rather have my 69 Chevy PU back than buy a new one, especially GM...For a lot more reasons than that!
Another reason I want to move to AZ. I can rebuild the old engines and ....
