They’re talking about durable goods. You’re not going to upgrade a refrigerator if it’s still working and you know it’s eventually going to break but it hasn’t quite broken yet, especially if the price of new refrigerators is still dropping.
I mean, if it discourages people from buying new fridges when their old one still works that’s good actually. A fridge that gets thrown out is just a waste, it’s only due to braindead capitalist logic that this looks like growth.
Why don’t you want a smaller market for fridges? It’s essential product, but sustainable business if you can sustain yourself by providing services and repairs

"I think I’ll let my food rot in my broken refrigerator because I can save 3.5% on fridges in a month”
LOL. Gottem!

You miss the point, and it can happen in every distribution system, not just capitalism.
