I hate to sound like the old man I'm becoming, but almost everything has gone to shit in my lifetime and I don't think it's just because I'm getting old
A lot of things really were better in the 70s, 80s, even 90s. Some things did improve, but on balance, I feel like I'm disappointed multiple times a day by things that were almost exactly the same for my entire life that are now different, more crappy, poorly made or just junk.
I can't recall the last time I had mediocre customer service or technical support, much less what used to be considered good. And forget exceptional - the kind that causes you to recommend a company to everyone you know - that's not even on the menu anymore.
Edit: apologies for the rant. Been a long week and we had our first frost this morning so I'm grumpy about another winter coming.
Weird how the most important aspects of this "story" get left out by these "professional journalists".
One of many reasons why most "experts" can go f themselves these days as far as many of us are concerned.
I absolutely agree and it's one of my major pet peeves with almost all sources of news. The news industry has gone to shit.

Just saw your comment and again I completely agree.
And no need to apologize. Rant on, fren! And I understand about winter. I grew up in Quebec City, where the winters are brutal.
