Interesting thing I noticed

Everytime I go to America it increasingly looks more like Europe and vice versa

Because every single thing made is just resold but made in China so in a way the Chinese design how our cities look like now

From things like uniform patio umbrellas to window frames to kitchen materials

Before there'd be an American supplier and a Dutch supplier that had specific differences in style for their country/region

Now it's all Chinese so the highest value per dollar product wins and Americans and Europeans agree on the same best product

Bit related to Michel Houellebecq's quote about global uniformity "the whole world will start to look like an airport"

Unlike him I don't think it's necessarily bad btw, I just noticed it, I think it's progress
