I really think we should have a consumer organization that grants rights to companies to mass produce items (so it would hit only large companies). That way we get a kind of democratic way to say "No" to products that work against the consumer (goodbye SmartTV) and end in a landfill within a few years.

I mean, I need a permit to add a window to my home. Can we please require permits for mass-dumping semi-useless products onto the market?
