That for sure is the truth.
How much money do the modern citizens waste on disposable crap that cannot be repaired?
TV's, washers and driers, refrigerators, ac's stuff that actually had repairmen for it. It cost more but then you could keep it going for almost your life.
Now everything is designed to fail.
One good example is cell phones... boy do we waste a butt ton of money on those as they get obsoleted from software upgrades.
I still have some old rotary phones that I could plug into an active phone line and make a call, not that I have a phone line any longer.
