    Our fridge blew. I’m pretty handy, just too many damned issues. Fuck it. What can a new one cost?

    I work at Lowe’s, best we got is $900 for the very bottom of the line. Got on FB Marketplace and we have the nicest fridge I’ve ever owned, $200.

    Washer crapped out a week later. Same exact story and prices.

    And don’t start me on appliances people hunk out because they can’t fix a minor problem. Found a dryer on the road needing a $14 belt. Sold it for $125. Upgraded 2 ceiling fans to super nice ones by bypassing the crappy voltage limiter (it’s a legal thing in the US.) I can do this all day.

    tl;dr: Shit’s expensive. Stop burning the planet and your wallet.
