People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

Mark NSFW content.
No doxxing people.
Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
No international politcs
Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Not true at all. Businesses didn't move onto the next product, they specialized, making the exact same thing year after year. Because manufacturing tolerances weren't great, things would need repairs and replacement, so there was repeat business. Nobody kept a buffer stock and moved onto the next product.

They did specialize, yes, but the products did last longer and there was a goal to keep quality high so their reputation would pull customers back later on.

But that socialization wasn’t strict. Companies changed focus all the time.
