There needs to be: * incentives to manufacture things that can be repaired * a general shift to see repairability as a sign of quality, luxury and responsibility * training a new generation to do the work * support for these trades so it's a viable way of life Having a job fixing things is one of those types of work that can nourish the soul. But it needs to nourish the wallet too.

@cavyherd I volunteer year round at a thriving reuse/recycle group that funds the Oakland Museum https://museumca.org We get amazing donations from local citizens’ garage clean outs and resell everything that’s in good shape.
Oakland Museum of California (OMCA)

OMCA is a museum, garden, and gathering place in the heart of Oakland. We explore the big ideas that shape California lives, then bring to life the untold and under-told stories of the people behind them—all with a distinctly Oakland point of view.We are more than a museum.
