I own a small farm (40 acres - corn and beans). I worked for a fortune 50 company for 30+ years. This company made products that literally lasted forever. I remember the meeting where it was decided that if our products lasted forever, we couldn't make money in parts. That is when Engineering changed to planned obsolescence (ie designed to fail). GM is doing the same thing. They all are. Don't fight it, obviously they have everyone brainwashed into accepting it. In life, you get what you accept.
