Planned Obsolescence

If you’re not familiar with the term “planned obsolescence,” the term is a business one which means that you intentionally design your widget (product) to self-destruct in a certain amount of time. For a while, every time a new iPhone came out, older iPhones began to degrade in performance with frightening precision. It was, in a court case, determine that Apple had intentionally planned the performance degradation. They’re not the only ones, and there’s another case happening right now before the French court.

What does this have to do with politics?

Project 2025.

This podcast is the first of many in which we discuss Project 2025 and implications. Project 2025 contains, in part, the deliberate kneecapping of the federal government by replacing government employees who know how to get work done with political sycophants. It’s like what Trump started to do during his term, but got a late start. Here’s the thing. Project 2025 isn’t a Trump plan, but a Heritage Foundation plan, and they’re (they being the Republican Party) are indoctrinating their up-and-comers into it.

Planned obsolescence is at its heart breaking things so that you have to buy a new product version. And that’s in a way what Project 2025, and the Republican party, are about. They want things to fail to function so that you distrust that the government can work, and it absolutely can. Look at what Biden’s doing with the economy and internationally. Government can work, but if you believe that, then why would you turn to private enterprise to save us? And that’s exactly what the Republicans want.

Don’t fall for it, and keep your eye on the ball.

We’ll help.
