Are you really better off today buying furniture from IKEA that won’t last ten years, rather than inheriting antiques from your parents that have endured for the last century?

Most people dont have the choice of inheriting pieces of furnitute with a value of months worth of wages when they first get a home of their own.

Are you better of driving a car built in a big machine-factory than riding a trolley that was designed custom for the city lines?

Do you think trolly buses are a pre-industrial thing, with their electric powered engines running on steel rails through dense urban areas?

Trolly buses are older than the industrial revolution, they just used horses instead
