The Light Bulb Conspiracy

planned obsolescence ! how corporations are taking advantage of you from
day one. It’s time to stop letting corporations force you into buying
garbage. They can build things that last, but instead they don’t and then
when they go bankrupt the corporation sponsored government steps in and
gives them YOUR money to keep the lie alive.

All of this talk about light and light bulbs is nonsense.

Everyone knows that light comes for your eyes. (Emission Theory). We have
no need for light bulbs at all. They don’t produce the light… we do.

Also, the earth is flat, the moon is a hologram, and I have a pet
triceratops. His name is Mumbles.

some months ago I measured a lightbulb power draw, it was 20watts although
the bulb was 40watts. The bulb was brighter than a “power saving” lamp with
11w (claimed equal to 60w bulb). It was about 3times brighter than the
11watt energy saver with only 2times the power.

So WTF? Lightbulbs with equal measured watts actually outperform “energy
saving” crap.

It’s scarier to think of the market that can maintain a “planned
obsolescence”. It would obviously be in the best interest of an upcoming
entrepreneur to make a product “better” but can’t; because somehow the
“free market” is in favor of those making the money and not buying the
product.

Russian propaganda: They exploit the weakness of capitalism and flatter
communism, but hey, they didn’t mention how people have been living under
communism. It’s OK to learn from others’ experiences, but this documentary
is way too flattery to tyranny. There’s definitely an error with the
economy and it needs to be upgraded, but not by communism.

haha most parts in my computer are reused

A must watch…

The business model they don’t bring up is that there are many people (a
market) who could buy the IPod for $200 even if it was older or
refurbished. Why not have companies that repair goods to sell to them?
And why didn’t Ghana collect similar computers, monitors, etc and salvage
them? That is collect the good parts and repair one out of 3 bad ones?
Although I do feel for the destruction of their environment. But this is
the “envirionmentalist” thinking that only recycling not reusing is good
for the environment.

This is an informative, thought provoking program. Don’t mind the Norwegian
sub-titles.

I have been in the motorsports industry all my life and Ran a smog shop!Even in California with its clean air laws.Logic and reasoning would dictate that a car that consumes a volume of air 5 times more than the next would be undesirable! they only ask us to check the emissions of the gases based on parts per millon not volume So a small car with a motor of 1 liter produces and imits 1/5 the volume of a car with a 5 liter! the 5 liter gar burns 5 times the oxygen out of the atmosphere While today… Read more »

Are there any asshole professional skeptics and wannabe asshole skeptics
who would like to debate me over the fact that rich people conspire to get
richer? Some of you assholes even believe that the auto makers do not make
cars that consume fuel at the rate that the oil companies want. Some of you
are even stupid enough to think that the government has nothing to do with
aiding these corporate thieves. So please step right up and challenge me
with your bullshit skeptic crap, I’m waiting….

I’m ten minutes in, and things are already not adding up. 1. Light bulbs are supposedly forcibly kept to last no longer than 1000 years. So what happened to compact fluorescent bulbs, and never mind LEDs, which practically last forever? And yes, LEDs are slowly getting into the home lighting business. 2. They keep on talking about how things are made to break, and how supposedly every company is in some cartel to ensure that. However, I’ve seen quite a few things that pretty much defy that. For example, I’ve seen phones that are at least 10 years old, and… Read more »

Watch this and think of all the products you have purchased since your
ability to go to the store.

An ipod battery cant be replaced because it is locked inside the ipod. The
back does not come off.

The fire station filament is obviously undervoltaged. Will last far longer
than if brighter at its designed voltage. Is very inefficient when
undervoltaged.
Calculate how much money it co$t to operate.

thank you for helping to awaken people! i am sharing your video

such bullshit we are fed on a daily basis. my father’s McClary fridge is still going strong in his basement. He got it when i was first born just over 38 years ago. the fridge is from the late 1950’s. it has outlasted every appliance bought when they moved in in 1973.. im sure its days are numbered since mom wants to get rid of it. my washing machine was here when we got the house just over 15 years ago…the only issue we’ve had with it was a minor water leak a few years agowhich cost me nothing to… Read more »

Cartels – setting a standard of obsolescence

Hello

Thanks for sharing mate¡¡

It blows my mind how little people wanna take interest in such
things……. Not that I’m sayin’ midgets shouldn’t. It’s just weird.

It’s a shame most people do not have interest in understanding the ways the
system works and how it forces us to accept ridiculous behavior as normal.
great documentary! I’ll share it 🙂

Just never forget – all talk about sustainability is come from Agenda 21,
facsistoid concept created by the same greedy people to cover their real
goals, total control and absolute power.

Thank you for this ill be sure to share it

This youtube program is no more aloud and taken away in the “free” Sweden “

dead

what is the adress of the russian site?

“You see, without planned obsolescence these places wouldn’t exist. There
wouldn’t be any products. There wouldn’t be any industry. There wouldn’t be
any designers. […] All the jobs would go.” Instead of letting go half
your staff. Why not reduce work hours by half? Give everyone two or three
day work weeks. People get less money because they are only working 2-3
days a week. However, would also spend less money on replacements. People
would have more time to enjoy living.

I can clearly agree with you on that.

@36:47 …what the fukushima!

I’m quite happy with my 1973 John Deere lawn tractor thank you 😉

How many people use electric every day? How many companies and signs and headlights? How much light and images? If everything uses many times the electricity needed, where does the electricity come from? Most of it comes from burning carbon. And the number of users and uses is billions even as the rate of use outstrips the ability to find and get more carbon since over 40 years ago and we have a very real problem with burning too much carbon. Sometimes you have to make a choice for efficiency when the alternative is lights OUT decades sooner if you… Read more »

Just found out my hp laptop default cooling kicks in when 60C is reach, no
wonder my laptop overheats! Download a modded BIOS, simply adjust the
temperature to 50C solved my overheat issue.

DUH!

Osram was owned by Leopold Koppel a jew

I enjoyed this video though there were a few issues that were not really dealt with. Sometimes there is a good reason for replacing that old piece of technology and in many cases it’s all about being productive. An old computer that processes information 10X slower than the current model becomes a waste of time to keep. Unless one feels that his time has no value. A 1980s car that may run perfectly fine but consumes 3X the fuel of a modern car not only is killing our planet with pollutants but is consuming a limited supply of fossil fuel… Read more »

greed and deception is whats destroying this world and you can thank the
elite for this, and it’s those same elite assholes that will profit from
the cleanup of all this.
You can tell who they are, because they use the word sustainability a lot.
sustainability is key phrase for Agenda 21, and you should know that the
same assholes that created agenda 21 also say that this planet cannot
sustain more than 1.5 billion people and they plan on being part of that
1.5 billion.

It’s time for people to stop supporting corporations that use planned obsolescence to force you to buy things over and over again when they could last for much longer. Light bulbs are just a tiny drop in the pool of corrupt corporations that buy politicians so they can continue to make garbage and get bailed out when people stop buying their garbage that is planned to fail after a certain amount of time. It’s wasteful, and it makes people poorer. Computer manufactures especially Apple is guilty of this. With their continuous update and upgrade bs. They could make a phone… Read more »

this explains so much about our experience of modern life – why we have to keep making money to replace all these things that keep breaking.
