Tuesday, April 25 | Drop-In Discussion: Planned Obsolescence
We have all grown up with yearly car models intended to feel obsolete, and be replaced. Refrigerators used to last 30 years, but now are designed to fail after 8 years. Planned obsolescence fit the idea of an ever-growing economy. Now we need goods that last, so our society can endure. Hank Stone presents. Drop-in Discussions meet via Zoom on Tuesday nights from 6:30-7:30pm. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link, or click the Zoom meeting link in this blurb title!
