Flytox, you write:
Since the whole system is made to waste, it is difficult to change the rules of the game without making a maximum of unemployed ....
If the goal of the economy as a whole, and not only in one or another aspect, were virtuous, its purpose would be to produce the maximum unemployment possible because to free oneself from the constraints of work would be a great progress.
In the current system, however entirely turned towards waste, there is also a clear (albeit not explicit) design to create as much unemployment as possible, or, if you prefer, to decrease employment to the most congruent compatible with the continuation of this waste.
The difference, and it is significant, is that unemployment is a social calamity assessed in terms of our operating criteria.
This is the reason why many people are paid dearly to drastically reduce employment while at the level of official discourse, and as a counterweight, it is only a question of "safeguarding" and "creation. employment ".

"Does manufacturing durable / strong reliable and repairable lead to bankruptcy"?
Good question! However, it only arises through a methodological bias which supposes two possible approaches to production, when, necessarily, what must be taken into account is the interference between these two paths.
In the current context, the production of "general public" goods meeting these criteria should display prohibitive prices in order to be profitable.
There are only two areas where this price would be acceptable: that of industrial production machines (which is therefore not "general public"), or that of luxury which more or less contains these criteria but does not constitute any. the main goal.
This way of formulating the question further postulates that bankruptcy is a negative outcome and should therefore be avoided.
However, should not a particularly efficient industry, by its very efficiency, cause its disappearance?
There is a contradiction between an industry producing enduring goods indefinitely ...
On all these questions, the reasoning is vitiated by
