Failing to stimulate the economy

Two years ago I happened to be in a discount store, at a time when my Ugg knockoffs were falling apart, and I picked up a pair of (different) Ugg knockoffs for (drumroll) seven dollars. I figured they'd fall apart in a few weeks or months, but at least I'd have something on my feet for a little while. Two years later, I'm still wearing them, and until recently they didn't show any sign of falling apart. Normal humans would replace them when the seams started unraveling. But, Covid. So, I spent 15 minutes with a needle and thin fishing line repairing them. I think they'll probably last another two years!
