I guess when the last generation gets old - like, really old - we won't have antiques, we'll just have junk.
Decades of everything made with plastic that is now yellow and aged. Years of cheap pine furniture that's cracked and warped. Everything made to suit the people using it without a dream of anyone else caring about it or giving it to their children in turn.
Could it be that an overflowing thrift store is the evidence of a shortsighted, cheap, and totally self-absorbed generation?
WHOA this coffee mug, though, right? Nevermind, this place rules.
