@pezmico The ideal manufacturing outcome is that all things come from a repo like thingiverse. Not that they need to be 3D printed, but where every single component is something with an immutable design history where you can always determine how to make a part matching the particular thing you have and there's always someone local with the capability to make it for a reasonable price on demand. No more mass production of anything. And none of it tied to control of any authority.
