I don’t think this is political in nature, Rick. It’s about planned obsolescence, and is spot-on. It makes sense to me that manufacturers be required to maintain spared for a reasonable period of time as described or pay a disposal fee up front.
That makes perfect sense to me, and it would also identify who doesn’t want to bear the expense of building products that would have some longevity. If I go to buy an appliance and I see that a particular manufacturer is paying the disposal fee it tells me they don’t have a lot of confidence in the integrity of their products. -D > On Apr 18, 2022, at 11:18 AM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Off topic? > On topic? > > He doesn't discuss Mercedes specially, but let's be honest.
