If i buy a TV for £600 and it lasts ~20 years, is that more expensive than the TV the cost £300 and lasts 3 years?
Cheaper to buy doesn’t mean its cheaper and this is what capitalism has brainwashed people with. The biggest issue right now is theres so much cheap crap that needs replacing, we don’t all have the means to replace it with decent stuff that actually lasts.
And the other cost no-one ever factors in is cost of time! When all this crap breaks, how much time are you wasting chasing up fixes or replacements? Time catching up on all the jobs because your washer broke, again!
People need to stop thinking cheap is cheaper! 🙄🤦♂️
Do they though?

It’s the Terry Pratchett boot problem.
Things that cost more sell less, by definition, because fewer people have enough money to afford them.
I assume he meant that they cost more for manufacturers to produce.
