A repairability index is about as objective as can get: a list a components and their modes of failure along with a checklist of:

* what can be repaired by the owner using spare parts, instructions and common tools

* what can be repaired by an independend third party

* what must be repaired by the manufacturer

* when must something be junked and how much of it can be recycled

These are not "opinions". At some point we need to start calling out the criminal indifference of vested interests (and their shills) to the sustainability question

A freedom index is about as objective as it can get: a list of categories and their rights along with a checklist of:

* what kinds of guns can be owned

* what kinds of cars can be owned

* what kinds of speech is allowed

* what proportion of income one can keep

These are not "opinons". At some point we need to start calling out the criminal indifference of vested interests (and their shills) to the freedom question

I feel you are trying to make some kind of point but I am not getting it.

Sure, start a democracy index by the methods you stated and compile a list and put it somewhere online and I'm sure people would find it useful. Those facts are useful for people looking into the freedoms of different places.

We are talking about repairability here though.

What is the complaint?

I think some confusion here is about "a number" people keep mentioning. Is it a single number that has to be objectively weighted by the facts? Or are we talking "a list of..." or data points which _are_ just facts can people can make their own opinion of?

You're right in that freedom is subjective, but you're getting downvoted because you're presenting it in a way that people are finding annoying.
