That’s still not true. Especially when you consider the planned obsolescence that those fucks have implemented to make sure we never stop needing to buy their crap.
The main problem I have with their comment (and, to a lesser extent, yours) isn’t the being wrong itself, though.
It’s the victim blaming, the shifting of responsibility from those who choose to make shoddy wares to maximize profits, to those who have no choice but to buy the crap, absent better regulation and enforcement of same.
Not to mention the ableist assumption that everyone is equally independent and self-sufficient.
