Not having cheap plastic junk that ends up as toxic landfill is a pro, not a con.

"Cheap" isn't enough, especially if it's cheap through externalizing cost.

Say that to the people who can't afford them!

  • This is especially beneficial for poorer folks, who won't have to buy a whole new phone when a battery dies.

    Plus, what you're talking about is a failure of socioeconomic policy, not one to be fixed by giving poor people junk.
