screenshot of two tweets from @valeriehalla the thing about boots theory is that we're converging on a phase of capitalism where you kind of can't buy good stuff that lasts even if you can afford it, because there is simply no reason for any company to sell you something once that they could sell you 100 times like, rich people are using a lot of the same garbage we are. even the most expensive phone on the market is dogshit in terms of build quality and longevity. it's all disposable! rich people can just afford to dispose of their garbage before its expiration date instead of afterALT

This makes me so sad and also I’m trying to remember if any of the Discworld books dealt with late stage capitalism
