Unfortunately, we need to compete on quality AND price. We should be able to make it for lower cost (if we use economies of scale and start to export again to the world) if we focus on recycling products and building extensible product lines.

We should not be "replacing" stuff - because that incentivizes cheap replacement (ie. china and india)

We need to have heirloom goods like you said - but future tech heirloom goods.

We should have cameras which are made here, and can be upgraded for the next 50 years with better senors, compatible lenses, processors that you upgrade and keep the body, or swap the chassis and keep the innards.

That is how we make people invest in OUR technology. By actually having companies respect the customers and giving them truly good quality stuff that is designed to be maintained for a lifetime.

China has matched quality for replaceable stuff over the past 10-20 years. Its sad, but I just picked up some recording equipment and best enthusiast level stuff and below professional is all chinese companies.

It shouldn't cost more than buying new to upgrade it. We shouldn't incentivize printers....we should incentivize it more like the way computers are upgraded, but ultimately - we need licenses that incentivize the adoption.

Apple went all walled garden and that won't be the way we incentive local development and new factories. We need open systems, but local factories and manufacturing, and brands to work on open standards (not just one - they can compete like Playstation vs Switch vs Xbox)
