A big sticking point in contract talks between Detroit automakers and the United Auto Workers union is the popular assertion that it takes fewer workers to manufacture electric vehicles (EVs) than conventional cars.

EVs have fewer moving parts than gas-powered vehicles, with no engines, transmissions or exhaust systems.

That didn't stop the light bulb industry from baking in planned obsolescence.

This is the response I wanted to see but since people seem to hate watching videos (from creators they don't know), iirc the tldw; balancing bulbs coming to full power immediately (as opposed to gradual warm up) and brightness with life span. The 100 year light bulb is cool, but not ideal for actually lighting a room
