It's sad that the price of everything is going up, yet the quality of the items is getting worse. Bought the same pair of shoes as I did 10 years ago, for $10 more than before. The material feels thinner, more flimsy, and cheaper. These won't last that long. None of us can stop this by ourselves, but at least stacking sats can help us hedge inflation and the corporate games.

You have just perfectly articulated the Vimes Boots Theory of unfairness

That is one of the reasons that I buy nice boots, ones for police or postal workers. I can get 2-3 years of waterproof use and at least 1 more as scrapers. Personally, I like LAPoliceGear.com for my purchases. They have all kinds of styles; from rough and tumble to polishable.
