Consumer Crap

I don't understand why we cannot have everything be industrial quality. At my work there is a microwave that sits by my cubie and it's at least 15 years old and gets used by about 15 people everyday. That is a lot of use, and it still works perfect. I know it's and industrial microwave because it says right on it, "Commercial series". So my question is, what makes it commercial and what makes it for home use? It's Kenmore brand so you know they make both commercial and home use microwaves. Do they have two production lines in the factory and there is a supervisor making sure everyone is building equally shitty products and the industrial line is building products that are bulletproof? This really pisses me off!! We should be getting one microwave that will last our entire lives, one coffee maker, one toaster, one blender. But as stupid Americans we just buy these things every 5 years because the other one went out and we don't seem to mind at all. Then the companies keep the same one for 15 years and it gets used about 700% more than ours. These manufacturers really know what they are doing, they have to build one good product and one shitty product in the same plant.

There is several other really good examples, you know those big semi trucks that pull huge trailers and are on the road everyday. Those things go anywhere from 300,000 to 500,000 miles no problem. So the technology is there to build high quality cars. But that would be really stupid for companies because then we wouldn't buy a new car every 5 to 10 years, and our cars wouldn't just fall apart around 120,000 miles.

I am getting so pissed off just thinking about this, everything in my office is built so much better than the shit I have at home. But I can't do anything about it, so I will just keep going along buying shitty products!!!
