SELL MORE!!! BUY MORE!!! BUY! BUY!

I noticed that batteries and lightbulbs don't last as long as they used to.

Most of the Chinese batteries leak in a couple of months and ruin whatever they're in.

I only use Duracell. And we don’t install till they are needed.

Are they expensive? My Cutco kitchen shears go for $135. That's why I only have one pair.

Cheap enough to never have to worry about destroying them! Thanks!

I can attest to the packaging waste.

These days stuff has packaging enough to cover three or more of the same product.

They are also getting more people-proof. I have to use game shears to get into some of them.

I swear, I ordered a battery hold down strap for my four-wheeler.....The rubber strap was about 6" X 1.50" and arrived in a box full of packaging pillows that would have held a gross of them with room to spare.....WTF?

Lol, this summer I bought a pair of sizzors to use on a boat to cut minnows to perch fish. The minnows in town at the time were to big to be effective. Also good for cutting braided line. Could not get the damn things open without a pair of sizzors. Where the perch were at the time was 12 miles out. Did not realize the issue till I am out there. Couldn't use the damn sizzors. That was a damn hundred dollars worth of gas or so I used getting out there and back. I was pissed. Today's packaging makes no damn sense. Ridiculous

I think I'll get over to Runnings or Cabella's and check them out. I currently use my buxom kitchen shears that are tough enough to cut through chicken bone, but I don't want to put them through the packaging.

Get them from Amazon...

I don't knowingly buy form them either, but I suspect we are a distinct minority.

When someone posts an Amazon deal I can usually go to eBay and find it at around the same price or cheaper.

I was just lazy with the link.

This is a new documentary on Netflix worth watching.
There are moments that will blow your mind in the shear scale of unnecessary "planned waste" that corporations purposefully generate to sell more products.

As well as the shear scale of consumer waste that the average person generates in buying buying buying stuff they don't need. While claiming to care about climate change.

And the absolute unapparelled King if Waste - Amazon. Followed closely by Apple.

I got around to watching it last evening. The scale of waste, if true, is hard to fathom.

The biggest takeaway I got was when some guy mentioned "The Magical Land of Away".

Makes since as few things actually "go away" when you toss them.
