Technology changed American History & Economics since 1946. WWII is taken as "proof" of the efficacy of Keynes' ideas. But Keynes never saw a television commercial for an automobile. What does Planned Obsolescence mean to economists? Marx mentioned depreciation! 1964 m.youtube.com/watch?v=pXGl...

Keynes never saw a television commercial for an automobile. What has Planned Obsolescence done to the economy since Sputnik? Keynes was talking about a 15-hour work week by now. The road to serfdom is paved with BMWs. We are not in Keynesland any more, Toto. What is the NET Domestic Product?

What does Planned Obsolescence have to do with ideology and reality? What happened to the Variable for Demand-Side Depreciation in the NET Domestic Product equation?

Trump can't figure out History! He is only dumb enough to wreck it. The US is probably wrecked for the next 20 years.

Trump is an Egomaniacal Imbecile! This Trumpression has been preceded by 75 yrs of Planned Obsolescence in automobiles. 75 yrs before the Great Depression was the American Civil War. No cars, no car loans, no CO2 emissions! 🚘 What has Tech done to Economics since 1946? bsky.app/profile/umbr...

GDP is Grossly Distorted Propaganda! What have economists been saying about the NNP/NDP since 1960? The Waste Makers by Vance Packard was published that year. Could Planned Obsolescence go on forever? bsky.app/profile/erik...

Do Economists really comprehend the system? Are they just helping to keep Gen-Z broke? Poli-Econ Power Games! So why no mandatory accounting in high schools? m.youtube.com/watch?v=tTwX... What do economists say about Planned Obsolescence & Car Depreciation? www.spectacle.org/1199/wargame...

Keynes never saw a television commercial for an automobile. When are governments going to figure out that Planned Obsolescence might be a Crisis?

The road to serfdom is paved with BMWs. John Maynard Keynes never saw a television commercial for an automobile. We are not in Keynesland any more, Toto! Ask two or more AIs when PhD economists should have figured out Planned Obsolescence in automobiles. What is Demand-Side Depreciation?

What is the story with English speaking countries? Adam Smith used the word 'education' EIGHTY Times in Wealth of Nations. He wrote "read, write and ACCOUNT" FIVE times. We could have had mandatory accounting in high schools since 1950. When have economists advocated that? bsky.app/profile/umbr...

No television or internet in 1938. We could have had mandatory accounting in high schools since 1950. Too difficult a concept for economists.

This is why Karl Marx mentioned "Depreciation" 100+ times in Das Kapital. How much has automobile depreciation amounted to in the last 50 years? 🤣

Ask two or more AIs when PhD economists should have figured out Planned Obsolescence in automobiles. *The Waste Makers* (1960) by Vance Packard Packard mentioned "planned obsolescence" 48 times in the book. Where is the Data on the Annual Depreciation of Automobiles since 1960?

Have economists figured out the Demand Side Effects of PHYSICS? Karl Marx mentioned depreciation 100+ times but there were no Cars to depreciate back then & no Planned Obsolescence. Is GDP Grossly Distorted Propaganda? What is NDP, Net Domestic Product? bsky.app/profile/umbr... (dconp)
