Products are Worse Now

In this Vox video, we learn about why all products are worse now. It’s a combination of costs, the rise of fast fashion/products, and the pressures of keeping things cheap enough for consumers. When things stay the same price but the cost of materials and labor increase, then it usually means that the product has gotten worse in some aspect. The ability to regularly upgrade products and buy more of everything means people are not prepared to invest in quality in the same way that they used to. My Mom has a box fan from Montgomery Wards that still works to this day. It was an old fine when I was a child and I’m 35. You know it’s old because it was made in Ohio.
