Realistically the outcome is pretty much what I expected. Using social media to engineer shortages. Hell they are still trying to do that with gas and lumber when there are still surpluses in an attempt to raise prices. No doubt the idea of a $10 4x8 of plywood makes the jew scream out in pain. It's not like this is new. The "oil crisis" was set up in the 70s to get Americans to buy smaller, cheaper cars and the design made sure they were in junk yards in 7 years. Still the same today. Only Japan didn't get that message. Seeing a Camry from the 90s is common place but show me a Chevy or Ford from just 10 years ago. There was a time when GM and Ford were proud of their cars. Not anymore. Now it's keeping people on constant payments, unless you're a tad bit smarter and own a Toyota or Honda. Then you are made to feel stupid for owning a 15 year old car while the Jones' have a new 70k Suburban in the driveway with a combine 50k year salary to make the lease payments.
The social scientists are just running experiment after experiment.
My 2007 Focus has 218,000 on it today. Sure, things have broken over the years, but stuff does wear out. It lasted longer than my buddy's 2010 Subaru.
