Do you agree that “planned obsolescence items” are a overproduction alongside actual zero value “products”? E.i. Laptops and smartphones that are not modular/repairable therefore will be replaced by a new product even though majority of parts of the old one are actually functional..

with zero value i mean the types of junk thats being sold on Temu nowadays, dollar shores in the past, gimmicky things that get forgotten and thrown away after a use or two.

We could say it’s overconsumption and I think that the other side of this coin is overproduction.

That is not to say that one country should limit other on what to produce and Chinese government should also get their stinky head out of businesses business

To @f0xr point overproduction also happens via government subsidies as clearly seen in wind and solar. Energy grids are not getting developed in Africa cause it would be overproduction in free markets terms, right?

I agree that countries should not limit each other's production, and it's important for governments to stay out of businesses' affairs. Let's promote fair competition and respect each other's autonomy. #supportingfreeenterprise
