WHY Your iPhone Gets SLOW (It's Not Your Fault) Ever get that nagging feeling you’re being scammed by your own stuff? That your brand new, thousand-dollar smartphone suddenly feels like a brick the day a new model comes out? You're not crazy—you're a victim of Planned Obsolescence. In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the business world's dirtiest little secret: the art of making things designed to fail. We travel back to the 1920s to expose the original masterminds, the Phoebus Cartel, a shadowy group that secretly conspired to make lightbulbs burn out faster to boost sales. Sound familiar? Flash forward to today, and the game has just gotten more sophisticated. We're diving deep into how tech giants like Apple and Samsung have faced massive fines for using "performance-managing" software updates to intentionally slow down your phone. We'll explore the frustrating world of insane repair costs, proprietary parts, and sealed batteries that make fixing anything a nightmare. This isn't just about phones; it's about your washing machine, your headphones, and the growing mountains of electronic waste they create. But this isn’t just a story of corporate greed; it’s a story of a rebellion. We’ll shine a light on the powerful Right to Repair movement, a global fight for our consumer rights and a more sustainable future. This is the story of how we can fight back. If you’ve ever wanted to throw your glitchy gadgets against a wall, this episode is for you. Hit follow, and share this with anyone who's tired of being played. Drop a 5-star review if you learned something new, and tell us in the comments: what's the most ridiculous way a device has ever failed on you?

Arkansas taxpayers loan Israel millions as the war in Gaza grinds on - Arkansas Times It's no secret the U.S. gives Israel billions in foreign aid every year. But states like Arkansas are also sending public money to Israel in the form of bond purchases.

And her priority is Israel. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo... #LivingInAmerica where politicians care about building empires abroad, NOT fixing American bridges. @democrats.org if you ran on popular policies, you’d turn the country blue. But that war machine money is just too sweet, right? #BuiltToFail
