    FPTP guarantees that out come so get hype. We are pretty much there now. We just need a few more cycles of left splitting before people get tired of that and then our transformation will be complete.

    The problem is it is rarely an easy proposition to just “pay more and get a better product” especially when it comes to home appliances.

    In most big box stores every option will be shit. Companies know that there are consumers at every price point and so they have a product for every price print.

    The problem is the expensive isn’t really better, it’s the same fridge with the same compressor as a cheap one except it has a wifi dongle or a tablet in the door.

    Of course there are the Vikings and Thermidors and whatever but those are Velben goods that priced so high that you could get 5 to 10 of the cheap options for the price of one.

    • they are often “cheaper” then what you would have paid in the 80s and they are built to that price
    • they are more efficient, which means every thing has tighter tolerances and thus more likely to break
    • they are more complicated due to the above which means more to break
    • with the above efficiently they use way less water but in my experience that means they clean worse
