I think when the economics of destroying a thing is better than reusing a thing, we should maybe have some sort of incentives toward reuse.
I get that the logistics of setting up what's basically a secondary supply chain is difficult, but I've got to believe it would be for the better.
hear me out: an org that guaranteed destruction of any residual data and ensured that no component or resource was wasted, was responsible nationwide for the collection of all e-waste into resource streams OR repair for reuse.
I'm just saying, techpriests might make me reevaluate my views on organized religion.
