Product quality deterioration is so maddening...we have a saying in our house "everything is just a little bit shittier these days". To be specific (as Walter likes), why does every crappy dishwasher have to run for 2 hours+ to clean plates and glasses when 20 years ago you could complete a wash in 30 minutes? Because the EPA mandated electricity / water savings in every design and manufacturers are spending all their time/money on chips and electronics to save $0.05 of energy on every load rather than making a product that will run for 20 years (like a 1998 Toyota). If consumers had a "choice" (rather than buying a mandated product) they would almost always choose longevity for saving $0.05 / load. Great article!
