This guy is obviously not an economist (and neither am I but, ...).

Our economy, and the auto industry's also, is based on waste and obsolescence. If we didn't use any paper towels, packaging, replace cell-phones/cars/video devices etc. until they wore out, we'd have a completely different economy and the transition would be disasterous. The result might be wonderful, ... but the transition disasterous.
