The article doesn’t even mention stuff like planned obsolescence or the fact that a lot of new goods end up being destroyed to artificially inflate prices.

    and still run great

    The Lada is nearly unkillable

    I’m not sure we live in the same world but we have jokes about all those “cars” that they need technical maintenance about once in two-three months. I do remember from my childhood how we ended up multiple times not being able to run the engine during semi-cold winter (ca. minus 15-20 degrees). So I have literally 0 ideas what those perfectly manufactured cars you folks talking about.

    German and Japanese cars worked pretty well in comparison, though.
