A new vocabulary word for me is #junkflation, which applies when you buy the same product that you bought 10 years ago, but now it's made from poorer quality materials so it doesn't last as long.
Junkflation uses more #energy to make more #stuff that people don't need.
Some drivers: #ConsumerEngineering, #PlannedObsolescence, creating obstacles to #repair
