Loc: Chicago Is planned obsol
since plutarch doesn't check his pm's often enough and also thinks that this was a real question {jeez!) we are stuck with this annomalous space time distortion of a post that is an unintended combination new post and partial reply.
Dude! Slow down a bit willya!

Good question, musick.
Planned obsolescence isn't "planned" any more.
We just take it for granted [we are buying throwaway "junk"].

It must have been unconscious genius, musick, because your statement in the form of a question without a question mark was profound.
"planned" obsolescence is obsolete.
Today, most of what we buy is standard issue junk.
You know how they glamorize "used cars" by calling them "pre-owned vehicles".
Maybe they should call all those appliances we buy at Walmart "pristine junk".
