These also look like the ones rishi uses which they claim is silk

It's unfortunately nothing new, but I do think the alternative is a new level of bad.

You should read what's done in an annual. For GA, aopa had a good article recently talking about doing the right maintenance because doing everything your AP suggests may be more intrusive and less healthy for the plane. It's not as aggressive you're claiming.

Also as others note, age matters in determining where the issue came from. Eg this almost certainly isn't a Boeing issue.

As a new pilot I really recommend watching the show Mayday Aircraft Investigations, it's very informative. The accidents are for commercial aircraft, but still I think seeing all the details and the root causes and breakdown in process is enlightening even as a private pilot.

I assume this (and really any extra mandates for landlords) is going to drive more small/private landlords out of the business, and that won't necessarily increase housing availability on its own, but will instead be filled by larger corporate landlords that can afford to deal with administrative work required. As I've gotten older, I've found small landlords to be where you can find the best experience (but also maybe the worst, it's more variable), having just corporate landlords feels like you'll always get a shittier place (minimal work done) for market rates.

It's not just furniture, piss soaking into the floor for extended periods of time can require work to fix. I bought a house that had a renter with a large dog and I had to rip up the floor to find the spot soaked through to the subfloor where the dog always peed during the day while the owner was out, it reaked.

I'm pretty immune to fucked up shit, but I didn't like reading that. I also like dogs...

There are varying levels of quality of service in different countries due to shipping infrastructure, partnerships, content restrictions, etc, and I'd say that ties into the cost.

I like rishi online and get numi from Amazon

You also generally can't open the wing in flight due to pressurization. At lower altitudes, where maybe they could open the door, they'd be going fast enough that there's no way they could stay on the wing.

Their manufacturing is suspect on anything new, but also the max line has several fundamental problems outside of this that have not truly been addressed.

Having a software fix for aerodynamic issues is still concerning. But things like the engine de-ice destroying the spinner is just another unintuitive change that pilots have to adapt to that will likely lead to further issues. I don't care what the cost of the product is, if Boeing made a bad investment that's their responsibility, we can't continue to allow such a dangerous product to continue to be used for a critical industry just because the manufacture made poor decisions.

The plane is poorly designed and has a number of issues other than build quality.
