Those who want to blame the manufacturers for not producing reparable products need to look in the mirror.

It's all about price, price and price. Most folks will drive across town to save five bucks on a $500 item or order it on Amazon to save ten. The business press is full of articles going back 20 years about companies either going under or moving to Asia or even India. Why? Retail price. People love to talk about patriotism and supporting our workers yet what do they do when they go shopping? They shop based on price. That's it. Period the end. Making it cheap also makes it disposable.
