This CompactMag article by an architect discusses the shittiness of modern buildings.

Life in a recently built apartment is like a simulation that’s constantly glitching. Your towel bar looks like a towel bar, but it can’t hold the weight of a wet towel without falling out of the wall. Your floors look like wood, but then they start rippling or peeling back at the corners like the cheap petroleum byproduct that they are. Your doors look like they close securely, but you know that if you accidentally walked into one while checking your phone there’s a good chance you’d rip right through it.

Despite what you might think, there is no conspiracy behind all of this. Nobody planned for our cities to turn out this way, nobody decided our apartments and houses should be the way they are, and nobody wants to take responsibility for what happened to them. I went to architecture school, and I can assure you that architects think about the terribleness of your apartment much less than you would hope, but when it does come to mind (probably because they, too, live in such apartments), it makes them feel sad and helpless. I know less about contractors, but the ones I have met always complain about the shoddy way things are done nowadays. You can see a sad glow in their eyes when they talk about how people used to build.

It is a conspiracy, and the conspiracy is named Nixon. Nixon opened China so his corporate clients could turn the economy into a glitchy simulation. Nixon created environmentalism to guarantee that nothing could ever be produced here. Nixon created UBI to subsidize the men permanently deprived of useful work, so his corporate clients could softwarify the world without worrying about riots.
The conspiracy was extended and expanded by Reagan and Clinton and Bush Senior, each adding more layers to the solid Nixon foundation of evil. Wall Street gained all money and power.
