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.

Oh come on American WOMEN rule WalMart, they demand low prices and
they get low prices. The amount of money women spend at Wal Mart is
far greater than the amount men spend there, women are the shoppers in
this country and thus we have Wal Mart and Target. Women dont tend to
look at global economic implications when they are shopping for the
family.
