Our order of 200 printers was originally scheduled to be done by august of 2020. As of writing we've gotten 12 of them. Our current district printers are over a decade old and we're squeezing every drop of life we can out of 2 million+ page copiers. I spent all day today reconditioning a single copier for service with, i shit you not, superglue for the fragile plastic parts.
There's a fertilization of reducing supply to near zero to save money. Nothing and nobody works on contingency anymore. Toyota came up with JIT, to eliminate the "excess supply" that was costing them millions of yen due to japan's small yet diversified automotive fleet. America/ Europe saw this, and saw "eliminate supply" instead as a way to save millions. The result is the bastardized western JIT system.
Gramps said the same thing about 2000s cars, how cars peaked in the 80s and all these fan-dangled computers were going to make things impossible to repair. Modern era cars can be tweaked with almost 0 effort and part sharing has become common again. My jetta shares most of its parts with almost everything else VW makes, spares are dirt cheap, and the enthusiast community has cracked the ECU wide open years ago.

Chevys run like shit longer then most cars run at all
