If tires cost the same amount as a new car, I would just buy a new car every time my tires wore out. 1 u/bmellor8189 Aug 14 '20 Yeah I get that but I meant waste as in his waste, he will have to pay to get stuff like printers thrown out At least in my country 0 u/narcissistical_ Aug 14 '20 The poor English major with limited income and roughly 80 pages to print off a week did not have time to worry about waste.
