So then, they can afford to pay for it like he said.

Hope so, because after it's built, it will be hard to get our tanks down
there to force them to pay.

So, why do I tolerate this level of crap? Because the alternative
products that might last and be repairable are far more expensive or
simply not available. In some industries (i.e. home appliances) 100%
of everything offered is crap including the high priced luxury
products.

I used to say I'd rather buy $30 shoes that last a year than $200 shoes
that last three years.

Now that I'm traveling, I'd rather buy second-hand clothes (nd other
things) cheaply after I arrive than things I feel I have to pack because
they cost too much to leave behind.

LOL Totally. It took me 20 yrs to learn to bring a pillow on roadtrips so I don't have to use the sucky one at the motel. Now I just put down ten bucks for a new one

It is generally attributed to Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana
y Borrás, who actually wrote, in 1905, "Those who cannot remember the
past are condemned to repeat it" although Edmund Burke, 1729 - 1797,
wrote "those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it".

"From Wikiquotes:
"Vol. I, Reason in Common Sense[edit]

Snipped unrelated quotes.

Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

This famous statement has produced many paraphrases and variants: Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes.
Those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it.
Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them.
Those who do not know history's mistakes are doomed to repeat them."
