When is your then?

Have your ever read about appliances ever? Using old appliances that still work here checking in. Not upgrading because everyone I know that has, theirs has died. Some friends can solder their stove back together. Had an old washing machine engineer that had to work at Home Depot because hail capitalism tell me to buy an admiral washing machine and dryer because they were the last of a working generation of functionality.

New ovens die in less than a year. Rental house with a dishwasher a few months old dies. Repair tech saying “keep this old machine because it works.” Look up people still using 1940s fridges today. Appliances in America today are trash.
