The waste is incomprehensible.

Motorola scraps cellular equipment by the railcar load (seen it). 
They see no profit in having it resold to be shipped overseas to 
the 3rd world, when they can try to force the 3rd to buy new 
equipment.

They also scrap 'last years model' of new in the box unused FRS 
radios. Don't want them showing up on the global market as used. 
Even the AA or AAA batteries, which come with them in some cases, 
are scrapped and not made use of. It is all a sin of gluttony on 
a corporate level. And Motorola is not the chiefest among 
sinners, so do not think me railing against them, they are only 
one of many many more. The idiocy and irresponsibility of it is 
beyond belief.
