Ah yes. When quality actually meant something.

I have two words for you: planned obsolescence.

In matters of style maybe, but quality is something else.

How do you define quality - your definition, don’t use a dictionary or anything like that.

I have a hunch it wasn’t made in China.....but it’s only a hunch.

Like in 1952 when your 'new' car needed valves and a ring job after 60,000 miles? ;~))

Somewhere around the family today there is an old Kirby vacuum that my Mom bought in the early 50s and the last I saw it around 10 years ago, it still worked fine. The thing must have weighted 30 pounds. But a sweeper built like that would cost $1000 or more today. You could make them, and make them in America too if you wanted. Problem is, that no one would ever buy one off you.
