    Right, someone has to produce those solar panels, the batteries that go along with it, transformers, the precursor products like copper wires, motors for rotating setups, etc.

    How do you stop the producers from intentionally limiting the lifetime of the products for their own benefit?

    How do you stop one group from manufacturing weapons of war and establishing an authoritarian hierarchy?

      You can’t do that in current society either. But it’s a lot easier to resist if you are not one paycheck away from homelesness, and your power can’t be cut.

      I can’t have all the solutions. I’m creating as I go.

        Sure you can. You just have to have good lawyers, force users to agree to arbitration, or offer such a small product that it would never make sense for anyone to sue you in the first place.
