What problems has Planned Obsolescence created for this thing that people keep calling "Capitalism"?
Keynes never saw a television commercial for an automobile and economists don't put the Depreciation of Durable Consumer Goods into the NET D P equation tho they added Consumer Durables to GDP.

What would mandatory accounting in high schools since 1950 have done by now?
Poor people do not pay the salaries of economists.
Economists do not advocate mandatory accounting in high schools even though Adam Smith used the word 'education' Eighty Times in Wealth of Nations. He wrote "read, write and ACCOUNT" FIVE times.
Curiouser and curiouser!
What do economists produce?
Do they know enough about Technology to figure out Planned Obsolescence in automobiles half-a-century after the Moon Landing?
Would they recognize 1939 technology?
Trump is totally lacking in class, style and dignity.
The lack of intelligence does not help either.
Since your car is designed to break down, spending money to get it towed and repaired increases GDP.

Yay! Great obvious concept!
These tech companies are being run by assholes. What about cars that do not have dipsticks to check the oil.

Of course our brilliant economists will only add it to GDP! Economic Growth!

of automobile depreciation.
Economics makes more sense if you think of it as a Power Game!
Accounting should have been mandatory in high schools since 1950. The traditional social structure has decided that most people are supposed to be losers who do not know the script.
Screw the peons! ๐ค

Donald Trump is involved.
It will be a Stupid Landing!
The plane may be upside down.
Why shouldn't accounting be mandatory in schools?
Why shouldn't economists talk about planned obsolescence?

An economic power game that makes life more expensive for the peons makes them more desperate giving the rich more power.
Adam Smith used the word 'education' Eighty Times in Wealth of Nations. He wrote "read, write and ACCOUNT" FIVE times.
When/where do economists talk about that?
Everything Trump does and says just emphasizes the Air Force's "Dereliction of Duty".
Can't they figure out what to do about a "Domestic Enemy"?
I have been fantasizing about an A-10 Warthog flying over a golf โณ course for months. Deliberately miss on the first pass.

No clue!
Economists either have not figured out planned obsolescence in automobiles or they will not talk about it.
What is the NET Domestic Product and what happened to the depreciation of 53 years of automobiles?
The US military should have had an A-10 Warthog add a few more holes to a golf โณ course months ago.
This idiotic situation should never have arisen.
How many of Trump's Executive Orders violated the Constitution?
Milley!
Don't they take an Oath to Defend the Constitution?
Make the "Hard Call!"
