    Another view is that capitalism has produced an externality of sorts (broken items with little hope of repair), and it’s time for government to catch up and start regulating that externality the same way it deals with something like emissions. If the price of throwing things away was more accurately priced into items, there would be more economic pressure to be repairable.
