PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE T-Shirt

REPAIR IS YOUR WEAPON!!! RISE AWARENESS ON THIS TYPE ECONOMIC SUICIDE PLAN THAT PUTS PROFITS BEFORE PEOPLE AND THAT IS RUINING OUR LIVES AND OUR WORLD. Planned obsolescence is one of those euphemisms used in economics to mask nefarious practises. Wikipedia describes it as the 'conscious design to produce a consumer product that will become obsolete and/or non functional in a defined time frame'. Inferior products are manufactured that could have been made to last a lot longer for a little extra cost. Companies design their products to fail quickly, which generates more sales and boosts their profits. Consumers continuously pay out for products that they do not need, while scarce resources are depleted and the environment is afflicted with rising mountains of waste. Big business regards planned obsolescence as good marketing, but big business is not renowned for its ethical practises or environmental concern. I dread the one year warranty, with the foreboding that my shiny, new consumer item will break down in one year and one day. Join the cause! They are building a free repair manual for every device. That's a monumental undertaking, but they're making great progress, one photo at a time. They'd love your help! iFixit is the free repair manual that you can edit. They are a community of people helping each other fix stuff. Come hang out with us—you'll find a friendly, helpful bunch of people who care about things and want to make them last longer.

Have had Zazzle complete a number of T-shirt projects in the past. This one had several design elements. It was well done. I will work with Zazzle again.

Basic T-Shirt, White, Adult S
The T shirt seems to be made from decent material but appears to be an irregular t-shirt sewn and stitched. .
