Toss them in the landfills California pretends to not have, and then run another bond issue to buy new ones.

Perfect, pay for consumables over decades. Recipe for success.

Where the FUCK is MY free Ipad? Actually, I don't really want one. May the wicked burn in hell.

if you let anything go too long between upkeep and repair, it becomes not worth keeping. Then you have to scrap it, abandon it, or burn it down back to its elements. Whichever, afterwards there will need to be some serious effort to fill the hole with something new and useful.
