"nearly a decade" is old for you? For a car? A car that doesn't hold longer than 10 years is just a piece of manufactured junk. Cars have their own planned obsolescence today, but it is definitely not just 5 years average.

@smh9902 Strange that cartels were more widespread before any government meddling started...

@iJettla4 By "consensus in Economics" you mean economists? Those people who base all their theories on 4 assumptions that are all hilariously wrong? Like homo economicus, the barter society etc.?

They still do it. Just without talking to each other.

@sidjt That seems to be the goal from my experience. But this is NOT from pure technical point. LEDs could go decades on average. It's just when you conciously decide against it that you get the 1000 hours back. Either by using bad quality parts that steer the LEDs (LEDs itself are practically undestroyable from use) or overusing them (which the commenters here say is what is happening). It's like in TVs where there is a part that is weak to heat and very predictably breaks after a certain time if too hot, that is placed myseriously always near the only big heat source on a huge circuit.

Oh, what did he say? That would bve the third thing he was right about.

@dru70292 I am ot sure this counts as right, LED are still better than incandescents, they are just screwed with as much. One thing was that China wants to take over the world economically from the US. Admittedly not hard to find out, since that is written in official documents, but still right. The second one I can't remember exactly, it was something about corrupt politicians. Something of the lines of "There were a lot of corrupt politicians under Obama". WHich is of course right (every organisation has corruption) but it was funny at that moment because the talk was about HIS corruption. Just another proof of Trump rule 3: If he says someone else has done something bad, it means he has done it himself and wants to shove attention away or regrets that he wasn't the one.

@dru70292 The first step act has nothing to do with him besides he had to put his signature under it. And btw. I don't count "was right" in cases it is blatently obvious for decades and everyone agrees.

@dru70292 I can't say. A) because I don't know the details B) It depends what else was on the table and C) do you mean this single vote or everything that is connected to it, including the failure that lead to the situation?

I have never seen a model T that is not (originally) black, but then it was all black and white pictures at that time ;) But still, I think you have been lied to.

If you heat electrically, yes. But that is rare. And in that case it would be best to use old computers for heating. not only saves you the heater, but you can also donate CPU power to science (BOINC).

Yes. There is a big difference between a consumer and a citizen, and it is horrible to hear where which word is used (or not). A "consumer who wants better products" has no right to it, because his only right is to buy. A citizen might have those rights, based on health or pollution or whatever.

I thought wonder what this video would be about and turns out it is just the Phoebus Cartell lol. Old stories - but surprisingly many people have no idea. Let's see if he alos talks about Nylon stockings. edit: yes ^^
