It's like having a boisterous sibling who makes bold claims and pumps you up, but when it comes time to put their money where their mouth is, they slink away with their tail between their legs. Or even, at times, rally with the other side.
Sure, maybe we're idealistic. At least we follow through.
The knobs are "brushed stainless" plated plastic with plastic parts inside. It's possible Bosch is using higher quality materials, but this is the standard Bosch range knob that goes on all of their ranges, so I suspect it's made down to a price. They're injection molded parts that cost about a quarter a piece including parts and labor.
The important parts of the knob are all inside the range. But still can cost as little as about 10 bucks for an OEM part and 15 minutes of repair work if one of those should break.
I was gonna bitch about it too but the cheaper Bosch ranges use the same knobs. It's an off the shelf part that Bosch is charging a ridiculous premium for.
Flipping burgers for us. There were only the two options. That or college. And a few minutes spent on talking to creditors if you can't pay the loan but DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT YET just go to school the bills will take care of themselves.
20 years and 50k in as of yet unpaid student debt later for a piece of paper I never and will never use, I ended up going to trade school and getting it paid for by my employer entirely.
Now I have a better job, union representation, and almost no petty office bullshit. Had I entered the field after high school I'd be one of the most knowledgeable people in my field. But, it was college or burgers, they spent a lot of money to send that message as often as possible.

Money, and liberals.
California is liberal. Not left. Every once in a while some leftist proposition comes up that threatens money, and money always wins.
When they say liberals are wolves in sheep's clothing, this is kinda what they're talking about. They care, they really care about their fellow man, as far as their comfortable standard of living allows.

There are nearly 3000 billionaires worldwide. Collectively they own 14 trillion in wealth.
This is nearly double all of the wealth held by every other person in the world, combined.
This is an abrasive disk, rotating at 1500 rpm. When I shine my flashlight at it, it carries the glow with it, approximately halfway around the disk. What am I seeing happen here?
Those aren't croissants. Those are crescents.
I was going to make a joke, spelling it the same way and pronouncing it differently, but I'm pretty sure the Pillsbury tubes are even called crescents on the package
