@Ea7krc @Npars01 @pseudonym #Dualit make kettles with replaceable elements. They are very expensive. I think that is what is missing from this equation. Reparable dumb tech is expensive, it was always expensive. That stuff that lives on from decades ago cost your parents 10 times what a similar products cost today.

@MarkHoltom The care we receive is the same no matter how much tax we are paying *at that time*. People seem to forget that you can lose private health insurance even if you have been paying for years. Also Tory policy is founded on the idea that ‘rich’ and ‘poor’ are fixed attributes of a person and not a state you can move in or out of over a lifetime.
