Responsibility also lies the people. We have no respect for our belongings, frequently trash working tools, computers and other goods. Replace the old with new, for the sake of keeping up with the times. Even cheap knives and other edged tools can be sharpened thousands of times before requiring replacement. Most are never sharpened at all.

The classic tale of a dining table made to last for generations, paid for by the father, be tossed by the son for something made by Ikea. As a woodworker, ive seen firsthand that the biggest killer of fine, handmade furniture.

It isn't time, it's us.

Yeah, so many people seem to buy new shit just to buy new shit. Even when the new thing is lower quality. Hell, my parents did it with their house. I'm constantly surprised by the crap my family and friends spending their money on. Most of my stuff is second hand that they've been throwing out.
