I have my (late) grandmother’s 35 years old Bosch MUM, which still works decently well. It struggles a little bit with larger quantities (>1 kg of flour) of firm doughs these days but does everything else well. My mum recently upgraded her MUM to an optiMUM and couldn’t be happier.
No, we fucking don’t. Would it be better for “us” and the rest of the planet if we got our shit together and finally reduced our dependency on the US, maybe even established ties with the rest of the world that don’t aim for domination? Sure! Did we do anything to deserve a better fate than a painful decline into irrelevance after ruining the planet for 500 years? Fuck no.
