• Praise our cargo ship overlords for bringing clothes that rip after the third wash and electronics that malfunction after half a year to us!

    Joke aside, they are integral to the global economy, but we could cut back a lot on wasteful production and consumption, reducing the transportation needed.

      Absolutely, food is one thing but cheap shitty tech is another. Frankly speaking ive never encountered a situation where the cheap shitty stuff was any better than the older expensive stuff.
