All lasting things are strangled by #VC and debt loading for a quick profit.

The parent company of Pyrex / Instant Pot file for bankruptcy (chapter 11). These companies are staples in many households, but often once in a decade purchases not aligned with 6%/yr shareholder revenue. Expect decreasing quality, and increasing costs from whatever is left after.

@koen_hufkens @pluralistic the instant pot is no KitchenAid mixer but it's up there in quality and impact!
@koen_hufkens @pluralistic Pyrex isn't the mark of quality it once was, and now its going to get even worse.
#capitalism destroys but we're not supposed to mention that.....gets the Centrists really upset....

Instant Pot quality is inferior to the other brands I have used. The lids blow out in under a year and replacement takes two months.

Pyrex could have gone another way. Corning was essentially the same product, but segued to super strong e devices top layer ;gorilla glass).
