I was just talking about this this morning...asking my husband, when did everything here become about money? Because I'm old enough to remember a time when companies prided themselves on products that functioned and lasted instead of making an iphone that doesn't have a plug-in for an earbud so that everyone has to buy the bluetooth version that end up getting lost so they buy them again. I am using a blender that is over 20 years old...the new one I got is obnoxiously loud. We had a refir that lasted over 20 years--now they say to expect to buy a new one after 6 years. I had completely forgotten how the earth began ot heal when all traffic was shut down...thank you for reminding me of this one simple solution to the crisis we face.
