    They’ll have to think of some sort of ‘intentional deterioration’ or something to ensure that products break and are made hard to repair.

      If only there was some way consumers could choose whether to buy something cheap and disposable or expensive and robust. Some kind of system whereby you could evaluate items and consider repairability prior to purchase.

        I find it funny that you keep trying to describe the current system as a solution to the problems of the current system.

          Well, isn’t it kind of obvious that the current solutions are the best solutions we have at present?

          Yes, wealth is not distributed equally, as has been the case since the dawn of time.

          It would be great to solve that, but in the mean time we need to settle for doing our best.

            No. It’s very obvious that the current system is the cause of our problems at the moment.

            We already know of many better methods, but we cannot achieve them due to the current systems monopoly on violence and its glee to use it.

              So melodramatic. Until all the billionaires are executed this is the system you and I both will exist within.

              Have a few more hits from the bong while I go collect rents from my serfs.
