>>20344503>Here there is this bizarre fetish for needless complexity for no other reason than the sake of needless complexity.No, there's a reason alright. The U.S. has cranked out so many D+ engineering and design students because of the Boomer screed "Muh Collitch Educayshun" and has to keep them employed somehow. Combine that with the drive for profits and planned obsolescence and you have this wonderful Merry-go-Round shitshow of product tweaking and proprietary "SYSTEMS", (like plumbing in particular,) designed to intentionally NOT be compatible with the system 2 years ago.
Hell, why not throw extra shitty parameters in for extremely fat and stupid people too?
Then outsource everything to some cut-rate shitty production plant in Zhejiang or Shandong--or just as likely Mexico.
If we're smort, we'll bring back our manufacturing stateside and fill them with Americans, BARRING non- naturalized citizens from employ..
...But I think we all know we need to kick a few groups out first, then fix our Scam money supply.
