Sure, that sounds perfectly reasonable, but I am not sure what point you're arguing against. Knowing how to service and repair something is one thing but availability or circumstance is another. I can change my cars motor oil no problem most of the year but jacking up my car on my driveway in February sucks and I wouldn't fault someone for outsourcing that task to a service garage.

I don't disagree with this in general. I am able to maintain most of my small engines with the assistance of youtube videos or some experience. Emphasis on most.

But not everyone has the time, or the tools and it's not really reasonable to expect everyone in a population to do this.

For example, would you expect someone who stores their snowblower in a shed and does not have a garage to service their failed snowblower in the middle of winter? You know, that time of year where its cold as fuck and dark at 430? This is the real world, not a dick waving contest about who is man enough to service some tool that they only care about what it does, not how it works.

It's been interesting watching people try to spin the price increase as a green energy problem all the while conveniently ignoring the fact that New England generates so much electricity off Natural gas and that the price increase coincided with the atrocity in Ukraine which has directly impacted Natural gas prices.
