    This design and use of cheap plastic is disgusting. Design peaked during Bauhaus.

      I get that plastic is cheap, common, and often wasteful but it is also shock resistant, light, and transparent.

        The problem is not “plastic”, but cheap looking shit these things were made out of. There are plenty of good looking plastic products.

          Why does it matter whether it looks “cheap” though? I get that you don’t want something ugly-looking, but what’s the problem with it being cheap, as long as it works?
