      In short the Lightbulb conspiracy is where Thomas Edison created a lightbulb in 1901, still running today out of California. The business cartel didn't want any product to last a lifetime. So they came up with throw away short term lightbulbs. That caught on to clothing and every kind of product today.
      
      I might rethink the FED Privately own centrol banking conspiracy to be my number one. Who else controls the Government, starts wars and prints money for themselves. Only Greenland were able to lock up their bankers.

         LOL  An extremely long lived light bulb isn't hard to do and they are manufactured every day.
         
         Simply take a light bulb designed for 240 or 277 volts and run it on 110 or less.  You won't get much light, but it won't burn out either.
         
         The bulb you refer to was constructed with a very large filament, but only draws about 4 watts of electricity and thus puts out only a dim glow.  The consumer doesn't want that, so brighter bulbs, operating at MUCH higher temperatures are sold...but because of the temperature difference don't last quite as long.
         
         It wasn't a matter of intentionally designing a bulb that would wear out quickly; it was a matter of designing a bulb that produced a reasonable amount of light.
         
         (As with many conspiracy theories there is a little more to the whole story than is being told.

            Edison had other better lifetimes lightbulbs too, it just the concept was everything was design for self-destructive short life and throw away.
            
            A hemp suit was demonstrated to be very light and flexible plus made to last a lifetime. Than the keystone cops started chasing after him, much like happens today with better natural products not coded for the toxic wealthy.

               The point was that the light bulb you refer to (it was not built by Edison, incidentally) was not the beginning of a vast conspiracy to create a throw-away society.
               
               What followed that bulb was not the beginnings of that kind of philosophy, but an effort to build a bulb that was actually useful rather than an oddity.
               
               No conspiracy involved, unless you want to count the "conspiracy" to market a useful tool.

                  It used to be a product was a profit to the public, like longer term and quality made.  Today, the profit is first for the corporation and they purposally destroy their smaller competition that come out with something better. From my own personal experience also.
