Don't kid yourself. They are quite capable of making quality stuff. Its
the "Walmart mentality" buyers who keep on insisting on even cheaper
prices so then the quality falls as expected.


Correct...and the cheap stuff is sold because it maximizes the profit
for the seller.

What do you think the MBAs do all day? Maximizing profit does not
include maximizing quality.

Walmart is doing this for their good...not the good of the consumer.

It's what the customers want, in spite of the fact that the goods of low
quality have to be replaced and the value of good products that last longer
isn't part of the consumer mindset. Change the consumer's paradigme.
