And there are lots of companies like Patagonia that have whole videos teaching you how to repair their garments.
And so it goes.
Some of this can get sorted out in the marketplace, but some companies have such a kind of grip on their field, and John Deere is one of them,

and honoring the process of taking care of things in yourself and in others.
