This is one of those openly discussed, widely known conspiracy theories. Engineers brag about their ability to design things that will fail at specific dates. This is why modern roads suck and fail quickly. This is why LED light bulbs, which should last a really long time, burn out quicker than incandescent light bulbs. This is why the adage "they don't build them like they used to" is true.
Our ancestors were driven by love of their people, and through that love, built things that were beautiful, strong, and meant to last, things that were cherished, increased the beauty of the community and nation, and could be handed down to subsequent generations. Now? It's all cheap garbage and literal poison that is designed to be thrown away as quickly as possible, and rebought, to enrich CEOs and make us destitute. It's a natural consequence of capitalism, which prioritizes the pursuit of money above all else, seeking cheaper and cheaper ingredients, components, and labor, while selling for the same amount, or more. It's a never ending death spiral of greed and mammonism, and is antithetical to Christianity.
Jesus commanded us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbors (people) as ourselves. The foundations of capitalism is a contradiction of both commandments. It's just that many people have been fooled with the false choice dichotomy of economics of the last century, of capitalism vs communism, believing that basic market dynamics of free trade, ownership of goods, competition and merit, specialization of labor, and the like are somehow intrinsically associated with capitalism, and didn't exist for thousands of years before that usurious economic system was implemented. Corruption, lobbying, government subsidies, usury, bankers, obsolescence, inflation, outsourcing, globalism, open borders, mass immigration, cheap foreign labor, pushing women into the workforce, reduction of children per couple, these are all natural consequences of capitalism. It's just that many right wingers pray to idols, like mammon, will abandon their people so long as the stock market and GDP go up, and refuse to connect some of the worst aspects of modern society to their side of the false choice dichotomy of econonics, to "own the commies".
