@mos_8502 This mentality of throwing and replacing has shocked me even more since moving to Brazil. Most people heavily repair and re—uses for economic reasons but the system is heavily biased on the other direction.
When your work day is worth little $ the best way to counter the effect of poverty is to do stuff yourself. And that is made incredibly hard by intent: no replacement pieces, no information. Astonishingly YouTube and even Tik-Tok are transformative.
