These bashturds just want to take away anything that is fun or rewarding to put together or build or do.

I'm getting even more nervous. One of my hobbies is antique small appliances, the vintage Sunbeam Mixmaster in particular. (I love those old monsters and, yes, I own one, a fully-restored 1955 and I cook with it as often as I can.) I planned to teach myself to restore them back to factory-fresh when I'm able to buy a house next year. What's next - some Crapola Hill bulb-head going to decide that appliances older than 20 years which don't meet contemporary energy-saving standards go to the scraphola heap? (Don't laugh - I know many in this peculiar hobby, who love to restore anything from vintage old Kenmore tabletop washing machines to Hoover Constellation and Electrolux - I call it, because its maiden automatic bag ejector ejected it all right...as in, four feet across the floor! - "Shoot the Bag" vacuum cleaners, not to mention those vintage Hamilton Beach drink mixers and the like. And I'd bet you they would be ready to pound the bastards through their vintage Dormeyer squarebox blenders on speed frappe - oops! they called it "puree" in the olden days! - if they even think about it!)
