I agree with you on that. I'd also like to be able to replace the battery on my phone or control my social media. But that wasn't really my point. Disposable goods are bad for consumers and bad for the environment, along with fast fashion, factory farming, corporate conglomeration, and the vertical integration of news media.
And I think that's the new frontier, which is really just reclaiming the old frontier from the profit-takers. People are learning to sew and knit, how to cook, how to farm, how to repair their stuff, and how to evaluate propaganda. That's the shit our kids will say we never bothered to learn, and if they do it right, maybe their kids won't have to learn.
