        I mean… Have you seen the growth of consumer tools, compared to the growth of consumer appliances? I really think it is sexist. Modern appliances treat the end user like a bimbo. Older appliances allowed a lot of room for negotiation. Now I ask, Ryobi, Dewalt, Stanley - where is your answer? Where is the bimbofication of men?

            Oh yeah its my fault for buying what’s on offer, not capital’s fault for making decisions for consumers. Vote with your wallet, they said.

                Wait but… I do too. And yet appliances do have worse features and do have more planned obsolescence thrown in for good measure. Buying with your wallet gets harder the more meaningful it is to the capitalist.
