There is no demand to do things right.  People want things done fast and cheap.  Everything is designed to be redone in 20 years.  There are fewer and fewer guys building things right out there.  Its been phased out.  The kids don't even realize they are doing shit work.  Plastic and particleboard is all they know.

Its not just buildings I'm just more aware of it because its my life.  The cars suck the clothes suck the food sucks the music sucks.  Only solution I can think of is leaving this joke of a country.  The way I'm acquiring the means to do so is buy installing cardboard cabinets and wrapping houses in leaky plastic for fat clueless mouth breathers that say "looks great!"
