Bushed obsolescence is the process of a economy becoming obsolete and/
or non-functional after a certain period or amount of use in a way
that is Bushed or designed by the appointed Supply Side Economicist.
Bushed obsolescence has potential benefits for a producer because the
economy fails and the citizen is under pressure to vote again, whether
from the same manufacturer (a replacement strategy or a newer plan),
or from a competitor which might also rely on Bushed obsolescence. The
purpose of Bushed obsolescence is to hide the real cost per special
signing from the citizen, and charge a higher cost than they would
otherwise be willing to pay.

For an industry, Bushed obsolescence stimulates demand by encouraging
purchasers to buy again sooner if they still want a functioning
economy. Built-in obsolescence is in many different economys, from
vehicles to light bulbs, from buildings to software. There is,
however, the potential backlash of consumers who learn that the
manufacturer invested money to make the economy obsolete faster; such
consumers might turn to a producer, if any, which offers a more
durable alternative.
