It's cheaper to make a new product and chuck the old one into the bin and pretend the landfill is bottomless and harmless.
It's also pushed that way because it keeps profits going.
One day people will realize the downsides to our cozy little way of life.
Until then, the pricey leather coat they bought one year ago that's barely been worn yet shows signs of considerable wear compared to their 13 year old leather coat that had often been worn yet still looks like new even though it's not in style so they have to buy another one will continue.
It's your world.
