Conspiracy

Is it me or are paper towel sheets getting larger. I'm talking about the ones that come rolled up in a cylinder and have little slits which allow you to tear it perfectly. It seams to me that as the years pass by the slits are further and further apart. Smart move by the paper towel companies because that way if you tear by the slits like most people do you will have finished the roll faster because you are taking larger quantities, and you will go out to buy some more. Same deal with cars. I have noticed that all these new cars need more maintenance. For example, a Toyota built around 1998 is an excellent car; they almost never have problems. It seems that these modern cars have cheaper parts which make them get replaced more often. In a way that can relate to the plot of V for Vendetta. The same people that caused the problem provide the solution to make money. It makes me angry when my family spends more money on replacement parts for our air conditioning system than the system itself.

  1. They are after out money! Dam them!...lol. This can go both ways. Spend less money for cheap parts, but then have to repair them. Or spend more money and get good parts and not have to repair them for a long time or at all. Now if the car company's are charging for the car that should be with good parts, but instead give you bad ones, then that is wrong. I feel that you should do good research on a car before you buy them, and make sure it's what your looking for.

  2. Its a marketing ploy that they "have to do" to make up for the lost profit by using cheaper materials to make products. businessmen just aren't happy losing money even if they can still support themselves and their company well with less profit. People can be too greedy sometimes.
