3 days agoTrends and status symbols are stupid, but I’ll always choose all-metal machines over ones with plastic parts. Things are being made with critical, stress-bearing plastic parts that predictably fail early and it’s infuriating.
(I realize this is about plastic-free pods, which are also trendy and stupid. I’m willing to bet that the machines that use them have critical, stress-bearing plastic parts inside.)
This has been pretty clear for a while now. It’s disappointing that the D platform lately has been solidly status quo.
The last real Democratic presidential candidate with great turnout was Obama (the first time) with his platform of “hope and change”. Trump even won on his own twisted version of that with “drain the swamp”. Keeping the status quo is a losing platform these days
