Big bulb is in bed with the automotive and insurance companies to make LEDs as fucking awful as possible to further price gouge the worker with their claim denial bullshit while looting the treasury with their legalized "ethical and efficient light bulb" bullshit
how does that relate to every third car having fucking nuclear powered laserbeams for headlights
You get blinded, fuck up and wreck and it's your fault. You get gouged more, and you need a new car that has coincidentally also has those new head Lights that cause accidents. The cycle repeats.
Also they get tax breaks and funding to make them even more shit
Not to mention when one goes out, you have to replace a 1,100 dollar unit vs a 5 dollar bulb.
