It seems like the store shelves are flooded with idiotic, broken products. My background as an engineer doesn’t help matters, because it leads me to favor function over form. Silly me, wanting products to do things well before they start looking good. The rest of America, or at least the bulk of it, are more into the gloss, and thus it is the glossiest of the glossy that makes it to market. Being forced to choose what I dislike least rather than what I really want has made me realize how alike the open market and open elections really are.
