Your items, like your shoes and your clothes, are things to keep alive. They are things that should live for decades, not months. Things that should be built not just to last, but to be able to maintain and to resurrect. We almost don’t have a choice. Our shoes, along with most of our household items, our appliances, even our automobiles and furniture, aren’t really designed to last or to be repaired all that much. There’s a word for all this: planned obsolescence. And it has a rationale.
And all this, of course, feeds a better and bigger world economy and a bigger Gross Domestic Product, or GDP.
