Because places like China makes them cheaper to replace than to repair.

True, but also in his day one didn't have to be half electronics technician and half computer programmer to repair a standard toaster. That makes a difference.

yeah, that's because back then capitalism hadn't figured out that they make more money off of you if they make it really expensive to repair things (money they don't get).

The rich don't get richer when you fix your stuff. They get richer when they pay smart people to design products that break and are hard to fix.

So that way you buy another one from them instead.
