Built in obsolescence needs to be eradicated.

This thought that things like refrigerators, washers, stoves, microwaves, etc are built to last only 10 - 15 years and replaced instead of 20 x 30 years and be easily and inexpensively repairable is just wrong.

I have some snap top food storage canisters that could use new silicon gaskets that just cannot be found. Instead, we are expected to just go out and buy a whole new canister. What a waste!

The left is always whining about trash and recycling and filled up landfills, etc, and yet essentially advocate for the most disposable society we have ever had.

What hypocrisy!

EV’s will be scrapped at 10 years. The green energy is going to make 100x the waste than it saves.

I agree; for some items it is worth buying something used online or at a flea market rather than new Asian-built disposable junk.
