The first wave of inflation is finally making it's way to the consumer.
We're in for multiple new waves and it's not going to be pretty, world is increasingly headed towards a global depression.
Just wait until we get a secular commodity bull market going for the next 10-30 years, meaning a very long term price increase in commodities, which are going to jack up the raw material costs up many multiples.
Those 99 cent cookies will go up to €8-€9.99 in the next decade and wages sure as fuck won't keep up with that.
It's going to be a big mess of a situation in the West, especially in the US. The next era of radical economic growth is going to happen in Latin America, China and SEA reagion, while rest of the world takes a break for few decades.

Let's say that person actually has the skill and the will to do it.
Young people nowadays don't own cars in the first place, as they're too fucking expensive for a lot of people.
If they do have one, they don't have the place to fix them.
If they have the place, they don't have all of the tools.
If they have the tools, you still can't fix the damn thing because it's likely the fault is in the electronics, which simply died due to planned obsolescence.

Worst part is that outside expensive bigger things like cars, it's often cheaper to buy new things.
I usually fix whatever I can in my home since I like doing stuff like that, but the sad fact is that fixing things isn't really worth it, aside from the good feeling and skill increase you get from it.
Will I repaint the kitchen shelves? Fuck no, you can get a brand new ones for the price of the can of paint.
Should I fix the coffee maker? New one costs only a bit more than the replacement part.
I bought a new bulb for the microwave and the fucking thing was like €14 from Amazon, proper OEM part would have been like triple that.
Microwave cost me €85, so the bulb would have cost about half of the damn thing.
Everything is going the way of printers. It's cheaper to buy a new printer than a new ink cartridge.

That's my vibe. I have an expansive ethical framework that's both philosophical and practical, while still being rooted in capitalism, with minimal amounts of upheaval, that can account for any problem no matter the size. I cant tell anyone about it or I'll be shot. Same with AI; I have a practical logical framework to prevent misinformation and bias. Again, cant tell anyone or I'll be shot. I even have an untracked NBA statistic that I cant tell anyone about, but instead of being shot, some dork will steal my idea. I dont need millions, I dont need mansions, but they seem to think my ideas are free. No, silly glowies, I'll just take them with me when I die, or pass them down in secret.

Cry about what? What's there to cry about? You havent done anything.

What are you talking about you brain damaged retard? Do you want me to break it down for you? You cannot read. I am specifically insulting your kind because you lack any capacity for reflection. You do not have the ability to banter. You fundamentally cannot argue because you're too stupid to engage with the discourse. Even the dumbest retard gorilla nigger can understand disdain and retort, but for some reason your parasitic race of fecal obsessed rapists cannot intuit the concept. You have no cannonical literature. 4000 years or some shit and not a single worthwhile book. Where's my proof? Our goddamned interactions you impotent posturing faggot.

No? It is banter. Do you not have friends? Evidently not, and your armchair pathologizing has nothing to do with the reality that you talk like a fag and your shits all retarded. I have plenty of control in my life, you know your friends are your friends when you can insult them viciously and they still talk to you. When you need to wear kid gloves because a preening retarded faggot cant handle being called a matryoska with alternating layers of cockfaggotry and nigger aids cum, they arent really your friends to begin with.
