I've been thinking: right to repair is a necessary band-aid right now because things are getting way out of hand, but wouldn't it be nice if the economy as a whole were to prioritize designing things which were simple, easily repaired and intended to last a century ?

@cjd It's weird, but I think it's best to wait for a technology/gadget to mature through market iterations before making it long lasting. Those principles are good, but it's hard to figure out how much better things could be if they're good enough and still work. Guns are a pretty good example of what you're talking about too.
