Cause you won't read the article here is the first few paragraphs.

Planned obsolescence, or what was known in the 1930s as ‘creative waste,’ is an old trick companies use to create recurring revenue, by intentionally designing their products to become obsolete.

The first is through perceived obsolescence, whereby fast-changing trends render old styles obsolete, driving unnecessary consumption. Fast fashion brands such as H&M or Zara put out anywhere between 12 to 24 collections every year, at least twice the industry standard.

Another way that fashion companies drive obsolescence is by producing poor quality items. Within a matter of weeks, customers find new clothing coming apart at the seams or losing color, soles coming off of footwear, or jewelry breaking apart.

From Wikipedia about planned obsolescence

plan would have the government impose a legal obsolescence on personal-use items, to stimulate and perpetuate purchasing.

God damn I love being correct.

Contact your bank and tell them what happened you bought a product and it has not come, you tried contacting the business first they could not deliver their contract agreement. Now your bank will refund the transaction after the pending gets confirmed.

I'm about to do this for a Kickstarter project that's 2 years late.

Inflation is a made up word to give a terrible reason why pricing goes up. It goes up because the owner wants to maintain profits. Profits is misappropriation of company funds. If they were appropriately invested the company would be more efficient but profit is a waste, nothing pro about it but for the top tier.
