Matters matter too
I had a proof: the fork of my old bike was really in bad shape. I went to the workshop and the man asked me 50 euros to replace it. The bike was purchased at that time for 200 euros: what was the advantage of its replacement? None. To regenerate it, because it worked very well, seemed to be for him uneconomical. Obviously, it would have taken for him at least half a day, then the cost would have been even higher than that of its replacement. But something from Rotafixa I have learned. I'm reading Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen thus I’m now aware of the fact that under the second principle of thermodynamics and other laws of the economic process degrades each subject (matter matters too), so I tucked up my sleeves and started to soil my hands with grease. My fork has to go back to live, the more brilliant than before: I'm simply applying the laws of Bioeconomy.
P.S. the curious picture is not the fruit of my work but a clumsy trick of these serious people here
