Batteries

2781

Shock! horror!

 

They can explode!

 

There, in the landfill..

 

This could get out of control. 

 

They say:"save the planet:("

I smell a rat.

Money is the driver, peddling their trash..

 

They put huge marks ups on all that is new..

 

With built in obsolescence. 

 

The consumer gets screwed. 

 

Doesn't matter what the appliance..

 

If they have a chip..

 

I can't offend Fido

 

But you get me drift. 

 

Save the planet!

Give it back..

We can recycle and make money from trash..

 

Everyone's saying, "they are to blame!"

 

Are they serious. 

 

The whole things a game..

 

In times past: in case you never knew; things were repairable; Yes, it's true.

 

Nothing now is made to last..

 

The consumption economy is just a farce. 

 

Look into lithium mining 

All other metals 

The dull and the shiny..

 

Really, we are poisoning the earth..

 

The ultimate victim?

 

For what it's worth. 

 

It's clear you know all the idols their on show..

 

Give me this-

I want that..

Like coloured beads

A load of crap..

    I cannot find anything to add to that. Great summary of the shit values which control our lives.

        Such very true words 2781, nothing seems to be repairable these days,

          I can't stand waste, and enjoy scrapping.
          Modern appliances are rubbish,
          Unlike older electronics.

          You just hit the proverbial nail squarely on its proverbial head ..
