MY STORIES
MONEY
MONEY
There is a sentence that has got stuck with me recently: "Why ship water, when you have it on tap?" This great sentence is from a promising small Company called Smol. They sell laundry capsules by post, thus saving the big trucks, the big bottles, the size of packaging.
Very fair point. So what is the 'multi purpose cleaner' about? Is it just water with some soap? Perhaps some bleach? Did companies really just add water, produced billions of bottles, spent tones of petrol and produced CO2 only to sell you something that could be really packaged in a small tablet? Perhaps you can even do the mix yourself?
For a few months I realised the biggest disease in humans is money.
In order to make money, it has empowered humans to do bad quality products.
Mum said there was a very good hoover company, so good, that their product never broke, and thus they went out of business.
The first doubtful product I heard of, a home printer. Someone said it had a small engine that counted how many prints it did, and after a determined number, it would stop printing, even though it could print further.
Companies want you to subscribe, to keep on buying their products.

The worst of their hunger for money is seen in Apple products. Apple thinks it's totally reasonable to charge £1k for a phone, more than a TV, a fridge, a washing machine & a computer together.
What do the other capitalists see?
If Apple and Samsung convinced people to fork out £1000, surely people can fork out even more for electricity and gas, petrol, Council Tax, mortgages or rent, and cinemas. Most companies wants a piece of our wages, aiming to get £1000 out of you a year.
It is down to Apple's greediness, they have set a really bad example, they have opened Pandora's box.
Appliances from decades ago last a lot longer. I have a 40 year old microwave, apparently it comes from South Korea from the brand Solavox. Will any of the new microwaves last this long? With all this over complicated technology that runs into trouble?
Apple needs to set a precedent, they have earned a lot of money already, it's time to rectify and produce more sustainable products, to stop damaging the natural resources any further.
