Consumerism for profit and pollution

Hi everyone consider this my intro.
I am a regular guy, husband, father, snowboarding, bike riding, tech enthusiast, bitcoin entrepreneur, business minded, artistic person, with some experience in life which I would like to tell some of you about!
The thoughts are more important than the author...

The 1 year warranty has been brutalized in my generation, it has this nagging leakage to another generation acting as a conduit to infect the coming generations. This is a real problem in our society, that is conditioned to say if it’s broken let’s replace it with another due to the fact it’s cheap, and on it’s way from the factory. I think the quality of all products you and I purchase are not up-to-par, right from its manufacturer. I think we have all bought an item that was flawed the day it was purchased, so how come we continually subscribe to this way of retail?
This is the fundamental flaw in the products ecosystem, businesses have come to exploit.. We as people of the world deserve to buy products that we can depend on, and not ones that are built to expire before their manufacturer imposed date. This is an area that we can all influence to make the future a better place.
I recently purchased a massage chair from a online retailer that we have all seen ads from. “Other merchants fear so and so because they are so awesome don’t buy anything unless you check them out first” since when did bad mouthing others become a way of advertising? Not only is that a problem, it’s widely accepted so it becomes normal to the innocent.
Anyway back to the massage chair, I paid $1,000 for it to break in less than three months. The company sent me a brand new one, so obviously they make these by the millions and are worth nothing to be able to justify sending me a new one. Unfortunately the second chair broke, and there is no warranty to get it replaced. Think of the pollution they are creating for me to have a sub-standard piece of furniture. Let’s forget that they took my hard earned $$ and sold me a piece of garbage, but they are destroying the world in the name of profit!!!!
Let’s get back to products that we can all be proud to pay for with hard earned $$, built with quality so that we can enjoy them for a longer period than manufacturer will accept responsibility. We are being lead into the future by greedy individuals who want to keep profiting in the interim. This directly impacts the pollution in the world, and thereby the humans that live within, for the profit of the few.
I am developing a method to deal with the issue, so look for more from me on that topic. And hello to you all within this awesome platform, that unites all of us people of the world giving us one voice to be reckoned with. Together we can effect a change to be proud of.
