Absolutely. And I don’t think it’s just an issue of individual choice. The market for most goods is flooded with cheap shit that is designed to break after a year or two, and that has driven up the cost of built-to-last goods, if they’re even available at all. It’s also killed the market for most used goods, even durable ones.
The problem, as always, is capitalism and capitalists, prioritizing “growth” (endlessly increasing profits quarter after quarter) instead of anything that would actually benefit society as a whole.
Good, i agree that’s how we should buy things.
