The Death of Durability: Why Everything is Built to Rot

In 1960, when you bought a house, a truck, or a tool, you were buying an asset. In 2026, you are buying a subscription to a landfill. You are not crazy. The physical world around you really is getting flimsier. From "Oatmeal Wood" (OSB) framing in million-dollar homes to plastic water pump impellers in $80,000 trucks, we have uncovered a systemic shift in manufacturing designed to drain your wallet. In this investigation, we perform a forensic autopsy on the American economy. We expose the "Material Treason" that replaced Old Growth lumber with fast-food pine, copper pipes with rodent-prone plastic, and mechanical appliances with disposable circuit boards. We break down the math of "Value Engineering"—the corporate euphemism for stripping out quality to boost quarterly profits—and explain why the "Velocity of Money" demands that your possessions break every 5 years. Topics Covered: The Economic Rot: Why materials now make up less than 20% of a product's cost. The Bones (Housing): Old Growth Lumber vs. OSB "Solidified Gasoline." The Veins (Plumbing): Why Copper lasts 80 years and PEX fails in 10. The Heart (Trucks): The shift from Cast Iron to Plastic engine components. The Brain (Appliances): Why your washer is a computer that gets wet (and why it fails). The Skin: Fake leather, fake chrome, and the illusion of luxury. Stop buying the marketing.
