design design design how I love good design how I love designing and building things how I love dissasembling things, and fixing and modifying things, re purposing parts how I love wrecking yards, with the worlds guts casualy spread out and on display, and making friends with the denisins thereof, some intricate shiny thing bieng rended for its intrinsic worth and comments such as "ya...we get a lot of THOSE..", the whole thing bieng quite litteraly a modern archiological dig for treasure, and at $10000/ton for #2 copper, the digging is quite enthusiastic........but certain things, get reverantly.,...removed from the maw, set aside and traded back into the world, to be rebuilt and put into service..... The main issue I see is that the old axiom of supply, following demand has been perverted by advertising, and it is now possible to supply demand for ANYTHING, and largely face no repercussions, as the market is so large, and moving so fast, that concensus amongst end users dissatisfaction cant coaless to the point of financial penalties on the designers and pervayors of junk. And as junk, can be made junkier, and therefor cheaper, good stuff is pushed into unprofitability......except in industrial and comercial versions of products, where there is no room for shenanigans involving durability OR useabality.
