  • wastes literal resources extracted from our planet to fix or replace the car

    This is the big part for me. The car exists. It’s made. That can’t be undone. Making it unsafe (from vandalism) to drive, the only remaining option is for it to go to waste, for the most part. Sure, it can be recycled, but that’s still wasteful compared to continuing to use it.

    While the value of their assets might be higher, it’s hard for that to matter in a practical way. Everything costs more and the bank balance isn’t healthy. The only way for the house gaining value to help with that is to take another mortgage on it and pay for things with that. If you do that, though, you have to pay it back and it doesn’t actually end up helping in the long run.
