Nah man, it's not just the greenie stuff. Companies are making their stuff impossible to repair or at least to repair yourself on purpose. John Deere is in the middle of a major scandal over this

Oh yea. "Right to repair". Using old coded cisco programs to lock people out lol.
Most cars now have to pull the engine just to change the starter. The modern transmission can't be worked on at all....you have to buy a whole new one.
The old willy jeep can be broke and rebuilt by a single man in 3 hours. But I've seen some records

Green new scam... libs are finding out their EVs depreciated more and nobody wants to buy them used... lol

A single chafed wire in an impossible to see spot will shut your car down.

Yeah, we have moved past that
...but would love to change a tire in 15 minutes
