The Laws of Physics do not care about ideologies but they cause machines to wear out no matter what they do or who owns them. Why don't Economists talk about the Annual Depreciation of Automobiles? How many cars have Americans trashed since 1976? Do Anarchists do Economics?
Vulcan Anarchist Woman (Sakonna)🤣 🖖💰 Live Long & Prosper y'all 💰🖖 Mandatory Accounting and Phaser Economists not talking about Planned Obsolescence. 😆
Some literature is Afrotech-relevant! When Africa Awakes (1920) by Hubert Harrison gutenberg.org/ebooks/69712 Black Man's Burden (1961) & gutenberg.org/ebooks/32390 Border, Breed nor Birth by Mack Reynolds gutenberg.org/ebooks/30639 Teach Yourself Electricity & Electronics by Stan Gibilisco
I worked for IBM! There are no good guys. 🤣 💰 🤑 💰 🤣 Economic Wargames www.spectacle.org/1199/wargame...
What has happened to Economic Thinking since WWII? Who was writing about Economic Growth before the idea of GNP was introduced? But has Planned Obsolescence increased Growth if Demand-Side Depreciation is taken into account? How many cars have Americans trashed since 1950? Ever used Ngrams?
It is half-a-century after the Moon Landing. Has there ever been a peer reviewed study of Planned Obsolescence in automobiles? We have nuclear-powered robots on Mars. WWII fighter planes could do 400 mph 25 years before Apollo 11. Can't PhD economists figure out the obvious? What is a Cam Shaft?
What would happen if economists reported the monthly Depreciation of automobiles owned by consumers? That would be Fascinating!
Feel free to imagine how much that upsets me. 🤣 😆 🤣 Trump is brainless so he got the support of even more brainless Repugnacans.
How do Experts and regular people Think about Economics and how has that changed? Is the change just creating different problems? GNP was developed late in the Depression, 1938. But still little attention is paid to NET, Gross is the Be all and End all! Planned Obsolescence is missing from the NET!

No government sounds cool but what kind of people can run a complex technological society? What have anarchists been saying about Planned Obsolescence since Apollo 11? "Vulcan Anarchism" As described by ChatGPT:

Since the Moon Landing at least involves human behavior making purchasing decisions without understanding what they are buying. What is harmonic distortion and how does it compare to intermodulation distortion? I used to fix hi-fi. Do economists know what they are buying?
Deport all of the White people! What do you mean, we can't do that? But it would be so much Fun!
How can Repugnacans be so out of touch with reality? Delusional Egotism?
That guy Adam Smith used the word 'education' Eighty Times in Wealth of Nations. He wrote "read, write and ACCOUNT" FIVE times. In 1776 50% of Brits were illiterate. When/where have economists been advocating mandatory accounting in high schools in English speaking countries?
The Laws of Physics don't care about Capitalism or Socialism. Physics makes automobiles wear out. Where have PhD economists been reporting the annual depreciation of cars since Sputnik? Karl Marx used the word 'depreciation' 120 times in Das Kapital. What have Marxists said about it? NET DP guys?
Kelly. #1108 @madsaltylady.bsky.social has blocked you After the picture with the weights I made a comment about her exercising her ego. I posted the MENSA card after Foghorn Leghorn. Then she blocked me. 🤣 😆 🤣 Was I too pompous?
Which is why the US military should have dealt with Trump already. A-10 Warthog + Golf ⛳ Course solves "unConstitutional Domestic Enemy"
Ven VT. #1106 @ventrue-theurge.bsky.social has blocked you Doesn't like my reading suggestions. She complained about economics.
How did people Not figure out that he was egotistically stupid in 2015? The the US Military could not develop a strategy to deal with him a months ago. A-10 Warthog + Golf ⛳ Course Add a few more holes. Much cheaper than Iran, in lives and money. Now whatcha gonna do?
The ridiculous US military should have had an A-10 Warthog add a few more holes to a golf ⛳ course months ago. This idiotic situation should never have arisen. How many of his Executive Orders violated the Constitution? Don't they take an Oath to Defend the Constitution? Make the "Hard Call!"
