On the surface none of what they are doing makes sense, when judged from the People’s perspective, but they are guided by an entirely different perspective. Their agenda can be easily discerned by analyzing the real fruits of their labor. When we realize that their interests have utterly diverged from our interests, and that their agenda is anti-human in nature, then we begin to see what is happening and where they are leading us. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people are no longer capable of the most simple analysis. The ignorant set coupled with the technocratic servant set are the enablers without which the system could not function.

It's a scam, it's a grift and it's marketing to sell unnecessary products. Building a new house or rebuilding/heavy renovation, sure you should put in new windows made to fit the new building, since certain techniques go best together - but in older houses?

No, nei, ei, ikke, nyet, nicht, rien!

Ours are from 1922, window, panes, spröjs and so on. Come May we take out the inner windows and store them, come late Oktober we put them in and paper the gaps shut (and put small cups with salt in, in-between the outer and inner ones). New insulation strips, new kitt, new paint - and it's good for a couple of decades more.

Can't get more climate friendly than stuff built to last.

But what about loss of heat? See, if you insulate a wooden house too much/the wrong way, it'll start to retain moisture too which leads to obvious problems (especially for people putting up extra layers of wall indoors, for that purpose). It needs to be able to breathe. That's why you have small crawlspaces on the upper floor and less insulated rooms upstairs.

Socks, slippers and a vest/sweater is a far better investment than new windows, money- and climate-wise.

But capitalism needs to move product. Ideally, it'll be like in the movie THX1138 where a worker picks up the latest "thing" on his way home and once home immediately puts it in the trash, so he can buy a new one the next day.
