What's really "costing the economy" is companies charging high prices for zero meaningful innovation and bad service and companies serving shareholders & VCs instead of customers. Maybe this article is just rage bait, if so, congrats, I feel rage.

"Americans holding on to their devices are costing the economy!" is a disingenuous, insulting, and harmful framing for the real problem which is that the acceleration and waste of capitalism is hitting a wall and tech cos would like you, the user, to hold the bag while they continue to make money.

Ever try to get Apple to repair anything? Or even let you repair it? Monopolistic tech cos will either tell you "tough shit, buy a new one" or just give you a new device to make you shut up, adding exponentially to the piles of e-waste devastating the planet.

Devices like telephones and cameras from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, when well-maintained, still work just fine. Somewhere along the way, corporations convinced people they needed to "upgrade" expensive tech as often as every year...and that they shouldn't expect companies to stand by their products.

An unarmed woman. Nonthreatening. Already ziptied. Brutalized in front of her small child(ren). Don't look away from what's happening.
