more products -> more components replacing some components means fewer components sold overall, because whole products 'replace' just all components

- Retric 2y agoThat’s something of a broken window fallacy here. Producing fewer parts while having more working devices is a net win for the economy. Economies of scale don’t mean things are free. The marginal cost of each transistor is still greater than zero even though where producing what 10^20 ish of them per year.
- tcfhgj 2y agowhile you see a net win for the economy, I see a smaller GDP and a bad conclusion after the business year when people start repairing their devices instead of throwing them away and buying new. Idk where I implied zero cost of things anywhere?
