Reply to I wish they still made them like this. 20+years of heavy duty abuse and still going strong. Arc'teryx Bora 30 backpack. by Tonquin

I have the same pack from the same time period. Use it every day almost. I also have the big one, the Bora 80. At this point, I bet I'll go my whole life with these two as my main packs.

Reply to comment by Queensthief in European economies have developed stronger anti-trust regulations, more competitive markets, and more robust consumer protection than the US in the last 20 years. The reason for this is the EU. EU member states are incentivized to empower a strongly independent pro-competition regulator. by smurfyjenkins

These two might be correlated. Maybe if your metrics aren't only share holder profits, and you actually care about the health of your society, your outcomes will look different to those who only care about and measure profits. Maybe comparing these two on the metrics of only one of them isn't a genuine comparison. Just thoughts.
