Something that should be considered when buying your micromobility device: Try to get something that will last and not end up as trash.

i wish!
eventually the suits will start pushing back. and most of these getting passed are (to my knowledge) actually hamful if you get to the nuts and bolts.
Suits aren’t evil. I mean I’m they aren’t good either, but all they care about is money. They push for closed because that is where the money is, but they have no resolve on anything. Law makers either try and follow experts or money.
To the extent either believe anything, they believe the IP lie and thus don’t see the tragedy of the commons they advocate.
Open however has passion, and is technically correct. (The best kind of correct.)
Little by little, we’ll keep winning out. Right to repair is an important front, but so is digital rights, privacy and competition.
caring about money above all sounds pretty evil to me.
and the result in this case is the OP article… at the end they make more money from wasting materials, and wont allow this to be fixed if they have the power to do so.
They don’t care about being bad or good. They just care about money. Change what makes money and they change. There is no resolve. Along with changes happening I listed before, one big thing we need do is bring environmental cost on to the balancesheet. At the moment it’s all external costs. Move the costs of items disposal on to the up front cost. Scale it by item’s life time. Incentivize better behavior.
money for money sake leads to evil, even if money itself is not.
people after it above all else are evil.
The point is that they are malleable.
only if it makes them more money.
if climate disaster is not enough to make them stop i doubt they ever will.
Ah, but that lost money in the future, not making money now. They don’t really do long term. It’s money for share holders now.
