Exactly. I talk about this all the time. A friend taught me about DESIGNED OBSOLESCENCE back in the 1970s when we hooked up and started working on our own improved stereo equipment.
The consumer is milked of trillions of dollars to support making other people rich unless you simply stop being a good consumer and find or make your own exceptions outside the box of what the consumer industry wants to offer you.
- Stereo gear never sounds as good as it could because they have to sell you the 'new and improved' model they will release next year.
- They no longer make Mesta Machine steel making equipment because they went out of business because the stuff never wore out.
- They keep out-dating your software and making you buy new computers and cellphones not that there was ever a thing wrong with the old stuff.
- The LP was at its pinnacle when it was replaced by the inferior CD even though it was sold as "Perfect Sound Forever" because it made them more money.
- Everything is made out of plastic now only toi work and last long enough as their capital projections require to keep making billions for themselves.
Hopefully, you did not buy the 1 hour warranty.I bought a cordless vacuum cleaner the other day....
