Planned obsooescence is a time bomb in products, particularly electronics by [Apple](/s/crApple). It means deliberately making a device become defunct sooner and components last for a shorter time. It is a tactic to make people purchase their next product sooner (after the deliberately shortened lifespan of their previous product expired). # Should planned obsolescence be **outlawed?**

When will you fucking understand the problem isn't with the gov but with shitty people?

You think what? That the gov is a magic machine running on its own?

It's made of people

And the more the gov harbors shitty people the more the gov is shitty

And where do you think those people come from?

Another dimension?

No

It's "your fellow citizen", "your" own society manufactures them

Damn

You can remove the gov those shitty people are still there, and wherever you put them they'll shit over everything

The only parameter stopping them is the law, until they shit this one too, and then the gov collapses utlimately and it's anarchy shithole all over the place, and then you get your anarcho free market capitalist horror

Damn

I fully agree with this statement. Not sure what you're going on about, though. Seems like you think I don't understand that fact.

European food, france, heavily regulated, not perfect, but no "bleached chicken" allowed

And there's no "bleached chicken" all over the place, at least legally

What's the problem?

Same deal with planned obsolescence, you can very well have laws put in place to stop it from entering the national market, and it's going to work just the same

But who makes the laws? If it's shitty people... Then it's going to be shitty laws....

...

Why is corporate lobbying even allowed? Why are corporations even considered as persons?

I mean wow, and I'm pretty sure someone will come here to tell me "What's the problem with that? Free market and shit!"

Only shitty people try to make laws at all.
