Bike Manufacturers Are Making Bikes Less Repairable

I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but what does "(externally)" mean ? A tariff ? In large enough trading blocs I would be concerned that manufacturing of the non-repairable part would just move within the bloc. I'm in favour of the idea but the mechanism might need some thought.

Sorry, I was thinking outside the whole corporate tax system. Tax stuff as it is sold, like gas taxes happen at point-of-sale.

I suspect subsidies and corporate taxes and the rest are a convoluted mess that might not serve people as well.
