How GenZ is forced to not fix anything
Hi, I'm Musta, and in today's story, I'll tell you how Millennials and Gen Z are losing their right to repair what they own. Because if they can't repair, they'll be forced to pay forever.
So, we'll briefly analyze the history of repair to answer three simple questions: Why does planned obsolescence exist? Why do companies hate our right to repair? How do they stop us from repairing what we own?
📄SOURCES:
This video essay is based on the first four chapters of the book "The Right to Repair: Reclaiming the Things We Own" by Aaron Perzanowski. Rather than pasting the entire bibliography here, I recommend reading the book directly.
