cheap is expensive
What does a paradox reveal? A statement that involves a contradiction. Paradoxes are arguments that expose the incompatibility between two ideas or statements, but they have a certain complexity; they seek to show contradictions to generate astonishment facing reality… Of course!
If we take “Cheap is expensive” as an example, we will see that the phrase is inviting us to think how by opting for those things of lower value – a product, a service, whatever – we can end up paying a much higher price (because does not have good quality, failed wine, is easily damaged, etc).
So, what seemed to contradict itself, leaves us with a reflection: if the goal was to save, why have to spend more than necessary buying a new one, or fixing a malfunction, or calling another service? We wanted to save and we lost money. When what was purchased became unusable and had to be replaced or repaired, the expense became greater and the pocket cries out enough!…
The writer Nazzir Haffar, antitheistic hyperglot… -Yes, that’s what I said!- … affirmed that “Cheap is expensive” is a phrase that was valid in the past, when quality was still produced, now not anymore, because in reality many times it is a better investment buy something cheap and throw it away soon…
And yes, because the business is that you throw away and keep buying. Haffar also emphasizes that cheap products cannot be durable by definition, so it is grotesque that devices are introduced to regulate the life of a product, which after a certain period stops working and this is intentional “
Nazir is right, the new trick of recent times is that they no longer sell you a product, they rent it to you… The cunning of the manufacturers and that terrifying phenomenon that has not been explained by science and is… human stupidity!… Ha, another cheap one that comes out expensive.
