- Comment on In the future, it will be considered unbelievable that repairing a product used to be more expensive than buying a new one 3 days ago:
Why would that be the case in the future? It was in the past, when people used to maintain whatever they made/bought and use it until it was completely unusable, because they were too poor to buy a new one
Industry and automation made production way more cost efficient, but didn’t do the same for repairing, probably because it’s not as predictable and automatable as making stuff from scratch
You can repair a lot of stuff, but you usually have to pay more than the price of buying a new item
