As I understand it, the 100-watt thing was/is only the beginning. Lower wattage bulbs are scheduled to be phased in over time.yu mean you missed the great light bulb debate? what a treat !! people were incensed that the gubmint was going to ban their light bulbs....LSS, there wasn't much of a ban and it was only the 100 watt bulbs, or something like that. Some people were ready to nuke the communists in congess over the issue...I think it was only surpassed by the Michelle Obama nanny state thing over giving school kids healthier options for lunch. Damn that woman! What an evil thing, encouraging our fat kids to give up their fatty foods and offering them alternatives......surely she is a socialist scourge on America....
But, back to planned obsolescence.....have you heard of the death panels? It's a way of getting Americans to replace their old grandparents with newer models, with features currently available on the old models...
Dinner's almost ready and I'm too lazy to look for a link right now.
