"Lazarus Long"

IMHO, this is sad. Things *should* be repairable. I wish the
environmental crowd would pile onto the "everything is disposable"
issue instead of screaming endlessly about some other things. Imagine
if things WERE made to be repairable and didn't end up in landfills.
Mt. Trashmore wouldn't grow as fast.

I just hate that so much is disposable.

Often things can be repaired, but are just too expensive to do so. You can
buy a household iron for $13. How much time can a serviceman put into it to
make a repair worthwhile?
We demand cheap prices, we demand the latest technology, thus, repairs are
not feasible.

Another is stupid design. I have a broken part on my car (heater for the
seat). It should probably cost $20 if replaced by itself, but no, it is part
of a $550 assembly that must be replaced. Make sense? I'm going to the
regional office to see if I can get some help from GM.
