Planned obsolescence is a concept that many companies have been accused of, Light Bulbs, Apple, and John Deere for example. Technology, has it been designed to fail so that we’ll be forced to buy more of it, and just how deep do these conspiracies and theories go? Also, why can’t we fix things when they do fail? This episode will also address the Right to Repair, and why companies interfere with these rights. (Hint: the reason is always money.)

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.
