Consumerism is what’s NONSENSE.
The Queen mothers dollhouse has some of the first light bulbs EVER made in it.
They still work TODAY. After 100 years you’d think they’d need to be replaced?
GM refuses to make plastic bodied cars anymore, and are returned to steel designs. What the hell you say? Plastic is Cheaper, lasts longer, and is lighter? What’s going on?
Let me tell you, I’ll spend some time trying to dig up the report, but more or less, steel rusts, thereby encouraging people to buy NEW cars, since the old ones look like crap/rust away/break down.
It’s like the guy who invented the plastic carburator. A $2 mass producable part, that could easily be modulated to work on many different engines. His design was bought by Ford for MILLIONS of dollars so they could - guess what? - shelve it, and prevent anyone else from ever building it for as long as possible.
When I worked in the Tech Industry, A-Bit used to buy capacitors for their motherboards, that their research timed, would only last as long as the warranty cycle. The A-Bit BE62 (As I recall?) Slot 1 motherboards, were an abymssal design, and alot of people were buying a replacement at the 13th month mark. A-bit celebrated this failure, as a grand achievement, because “more consumers” were now on the market again.
Putting your head in the sand is what’s NONSENSE.
If it is premature, each and every company has owned up to it.
What about the dozens of companies that literally have insurance agencies (Like the one in Fight Club) who’s job it is to determine if it’s cheaper to just pay people out after they get hurt/killed, vs repair and recall the product? That’s a legitimate job Jermofoot
Don’t be naive friends…
