I know EU has the Right to Repair initiative and that’s a step to the right direction. Still I’m left to wonder, how did we end up in a situation where it’s often cheaper to just buy a new item than fix the old?
What can individuals, communities, countries and organizations do to encourage people to repair rather than replace with a new?
I was implying that the owner might have broken it even more when attempting the repair, making it take even longer.
Mostly because my washer started leaking and I’m probably going to break it more, too
But you might fix it - and if you break it more it was already broke so no loss
