Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

Exactly. People paid high prices for high quality appliances back in the 50s and 60s because there was no other option. Now we have choices. So if you want quality appliances, just pay more for them.

But even then, you never know if you're paying for higher quality, or you're just being sold shit at a higher price.

Back in 2000 I bought a pair of North Face shoes, when they were known as being a quality outfitter company. They were amazing shoes and I would replace them about every 3 years... Then around 2012 they had completed their shift to a fashion brand and their shoes barely lasted 6 months, but still cost the same.

Exactly. Am I paying for a brand or the product?
