Man what did Casey do now?

Laptops aren't funko pops, no one's buying extra cause they want to get one in every color. People buy them out of necessity. So no this isn't gonna discourage anything, maybe it'll get people to try and repair their older laptops, but because of corporate greed, most modern laptops aren't designed for repair ability, rather they go out of their way to make it harder to repair, and they don't release sufficient schematics and spare parts needed for repair, not to mention there are only so many technicians or tech savvy people with the know how to repair them.

Check the labels of all the stuff in your apartment to see how much of it is made in USA, you will find barely anything that isn't a consumable is made in the US, local manufacturing was shut down decades ago as all of that got outsourced to cheaper countries in the bottomless chase for profit by greedy corporations. So why are tariffs an issue, cause there ain't any local companies making laptops for Americans to buy, and you can't just stop buying goods that society relies on, so people are forced to pay more to buy the imported goods, so you will be paying more money for these things while it takes decades to ramp up local manufacturing again and train the workers etc. if that were to even happen

Is this like the SCP foundation stories but for space opera science fiction?

What the hell is a "potent" anti aging product, I always assumed these were useless products made to prey on the insecurities of aging women
