Agreed, fast fashion and it’s equivalents have pretty much killed off basic repair in general. My great grandmother taught me how to rewire a lamp, and I think I’m the only person in my friend group that can do it. Most people just toss them when they stop working.
Nana was in her early 20s when the great depression hit, and her influence is probably why I’m so in favor of right-to-repair.
your Nana rules. I can’t rewire a lamp myself, but I’m fortunate I have a handful of nerd friends I know could do it for me. I’d bake them some bread (mom’s recipe) in return
