What is planned obsolescence? In short, it is one of the most sinister policies created by humans.
It is the deliberate engineering of goods to deteriorate or become obsolete faster to require replacement and increase profits

How is it that the Romans built roads to last thousands of years yet our modern ones require constant maintenance?
I truly believe much of the human condition now, mental illness, chronic illness, is planned obsolescence being extended to humanity by Big Pharma and Big Food for profits
