I figured production scale was part of it, but still assumed standardization in the process over time would bring the price down. But they probably aren’t selling that many $700 faucets to bring the price down much below their costs, and makes sense they’d have to keep the price high to maintain the brand reputation to sell a boutique product.
I appreciate your insight. I assumed some of what you mentioned but have no idea what the actual manufacturing process are like compared to other products that use similar materials.
I was searching the band VOLA when I came across the faucet brand that makes very expensive but very repairable, and that compelled me to finally ask. I’ve replaced a few faucets over the years that were at the end of their life, but the last one took to a plumbing supply to get what looked like an obvious replacement part and they said it’s some home depot brand that doesn’t make them.
Thanks for the info, I’ve never thought to buy old since over only ever replaced cheap and only faucets, but when it comes time to work on my kitchen I’ll check out the brands you mentioned.
I had a recent experience like this (that was admittedly less intense) where I left feeling like a complete idiot, and I can’t even remember what it was, and none of my coworkers probably do either because we’re all idiots. If it matters to your coworkers they’ll ask about your well-being out of concern because they care; if it matters to your coworkers and they mock you, they’re the type of people who’s opinion of you isn’t with anything
I see now, thank you for teaching me the ways of lemmy
Yours shows for me, what did you do differently?

I’m 40 and have friends my age who rent because they don’t want to own even though they can afford to. I’m not sure what percentage of renters are like them.
The comment I was responding to said it would be nice if the people running the organizations would do it for free or survival wages. I agree the salaries in OP’s example are extreme, but what I see more often in my industry is burnt out people doing work for survival wages because they’re passionate, while everyone else makes a ton of money.
As someone who has worked at a non profit and works at a low profit company now, the idea that because it’s work we’re passionate about that we should do it for pennies is so toxic, and how teachers, nurses, childcare workers, etc are abused by society. We’re actively out here trying to fix the problems caused by capitalism and the top 10% who are fucking over the world, and we deserve to be fairly compensated, not do it for free because we’re so passionate. I’m not saying OP’s example is right either, but charity workers shouldn’t need to rely on charity to survive, or be so wealthy they didn’t need to get paid.
I’m wondering what bias there may be for people from a place versus moving to a place. Many have noted the culture of activity in Colorado, and that may be pulling non-obese people from other states to Colorado. Not that it would sway the numbers that much, but as an anecdote, everyone I know in Colorado moved there from a different state and fit, and moved there for activities.
I do both freelance graphic design and historic window restoration on the side. I did them both before my current full time design job, and do them in my spare time. I’m lucky that my current job considers 32 hours full time, so I have Fridays to do side work.

I highly recommend the book The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs by Tristan Gooley. It’s far more applicable for the roaming in nature possibilities in the UK than where I am in the US.
