this is why there are no solved problems in the west
solved problems are not profitable. that's why whenever an effective medicine goes off patent, suddenly it's found dangerous and needs to be replaced with a new on-patent drug. the last thing they want is to compete with their past successes
what's more, many people defend this behavior. of *course* they can't make a car that will last 2 million miles, they'd go out of business! we should instead perpetually waste industrial capacity on increasingly-disposable, fragile, and ever-more-expensive vehicles
