So, how much tech change has salt gone through in the past 40 years?

None? It's been the exact same product for thousands of years? OK.

What a stupid comparison.

Point accepted. How ever you fail to realize the waste in your statement. Redesigned is not he issue the next great thing isn't the answer it isn't even close. Copyright is fucked in America. I blame capitalism! an the way salt it is minded and packaged changes every day because it's a built in feature to waste. I can't even try to repair my things anymore John Deer told me so.

? I blame ownership laws for the waste of obsolescence. Break those and we won't have this next big thing that takes away the earphone jack on your iPhone and charge you a hundred dollars plus the new ear buds. Conversely we could find landfills and dumpsters with less ewaste. Don't blow a valve not very worth it. We waste so much in our riches to this insidious next big thing. And laws that grant rights to manufactured myths by the greedy is the the problem.

Well its all true, its just your phrasing and constant references to some niche terms sometimes makes your comments unreadable.
