@PopulistRight @EvilSandmich @ShovelTrouble it's not *just( planned obsolesce though - when you can just change the part next year, you don't have to spend as much time thinking about it before you make it; AND - if you do make a mistake, you can just .. stop dealing with it next year! And so that, for a company view, makes the cars cheaper!

But it of course totally fucks consumers over.
