I don’t agree with this practice of planned obsolescence, but aren’t cars already their own planned obsolescence? You have to keep giving it fuel, so in terms of the analogy, wouldn’t the company just stop selling fuel? You still have the parts, they just no longer function
Yes I’m aware that car manufacturers don’t sell the fuel, which causes a problem with my analogy, but I can’t see a perfect analogy for this case.
Bike lanes are fine as long as we don’t get rid of roads in the process. Living 10 miles from a city, terrible public transport and chronic pain means I’m not about to use my bike for actual errands. Before we say “just fix public transport” there is a balance of how much it will cost vs how much it is worth and no, I don’t think it will be worth fixing
