I would mandate that all consumer goods would have a 50 year money back guarantee. That would drive a stake through the heart of the consumer economy which, fundamentally, is what's killing our world.

50 years is a bit extreme for most consumer goods, but I agree with the premise. It seems every time I buy something (and not always a big ticket item) the warrenty is only good for a year. They always want to make additional money on the extended warrenty.


That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
