In our quest to increase recycling we seem to have forgotten that the original phrase was 'reduce, reuse, recycle'.

For example, the manufacturer doesn't have to waste the energy to recycle the case if the case can be reused by making the battery user-serviceable.

Won't somebody please think of the shareholders? How will they be able to make insane profits if people aren't replacing??

We must prevent repairs in order to maximize shareholder profit in order for the wealth to trickle down in order to allow consumers to replace their nonserviceable goods.

How trickle-down economics works:

First, the shareholders get all the profits.

Then what?

...that's it.

The trick is to shove money at the shareholders faster than they can bank or consume it - this way, the overflow will spill down to the lower tiers of society.
