” Rechargable batteries ” – The big fraud

__ _ _

Now, we´re gonna tell how you get lured into buying a lot of technical equipment,

in which you think it´s possible to change the batteries,

but really just is to throw away, when the batteries are out.

Ever since the early 80´s we´ve been lured into byeing electronic devices containing rechargeable batteries.

And the problem is widespread. This may include MP3 players, hairtrimmers, digital displays, drills and razors.

When we go to the store to buy a new razor, we expect it´s maintanance for a certain number of years. The razors´re often made of plastic and we are quite well aware that a razor contains many small parts that are sensitive to any breaks.

And that’s okay.

But do we really expect, that it´s the most enduring part, the battery, that runs out first ?

The fact that, after 1-2 years, you can´t recharge the battery anymore ?

And do we really expect that the equipment has no battery door, or screws, so that we can access and change the battery ?

So when battery power´s run out, you just have to throw the razor away.

we don´t ?

However, the producers of these razors anyway expect that. Because they´re sitting with their excellent academic qualifications and work out how to grab as much as possible of your money.

And that money will be well spent.

.. .. .. ..

.. - Successful men ? -

Because the producers’ housewives ought to have some extra nice red wines to enjoy, when they´re home allone. And maybe include new slippers too? Why not include approximately twelve pairs of slippers in different shades of color,

- one pair for each gown?

Actually, the wives dont have to work, because their men are sitting sixteen hours a day and plan how to grab as much as possible of your money. And in this, they become billionaires.

Equipment with rechargeable batteries, that fraud, we´ve really baught.

It sells like ice-cream in sunshine. Approximately 50% of all electronic devices on the market, are also constructed entirely without battery doors. And just for razors, the figure is 75 %.

And then people drive to the dumps after two years, for throwing the equipment away.

But this might fill a social function ? It perhaps gathers the families ? Perhaps, in addition to funerals, it´s a very important source of socializing ?

But the globe.  And the environment ?

- That maybe will engage ” earth-nerds ” in some workshop !

Low-paid people have to work full time in a week to afford to buy a nice razor with rechargeable batteries.

Then, after two years, the batteries are weak, and it´s just to through the razor away.

And all this, only to producers idle and depressed wives to be able to afford a bit extra good red wines and new felt-lined inside-slippers.

Then, the housewives will tell us that their husbands have ” succeeded “.

- Isn´t this strange?
