“I bought a tractor, then it broke. I paid to get it repaired, then it broke again. And pretty soon I was broke too. I realized that the truly appropriate low-cost tools that I needed to start a sustainable farm and settlement just didn’t exist yet.

Not designed for obsolescence.” – Marcin Jakubowski.
