    ...and burns people's homes down due to lack of safety features.

    ...and children choke to death from easily removable small parts.

    ...and people get electrocuted because of a lack of warning label telling them not to use it in the bath.

    Banning CFCs was the biggest hit to long-lasting, efficient AC and refrigeration.

    It was also critical to stopping the complete removal of the fucking ozone layer.

    That’s not to say we couldn’t build a lot more stuff without obsolescence fuses, unrepairable designs, and trickling out features to force unnecessary replacement.

    Worry not, some of what's perfectly fine nowadays will eventually be forbidden because how harmful it is for people, from micro-plastics that are being found even in men's gonads to the excessive amounts of nitrous oxides emitted by diesel engine that kill over ten thousand people per year in Europe alone.

    We probably still breathe and eat a lot of highly carcinogenic shit, just different shit from back in the days when asbestos was considered a great fire-proof substance.
