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.- Hide quoted text -

Do men? LOL

Market studies show that women are much more likely to make economic
decisions that favor the environment and global economic implications
when they are shopping for the family.

Given the information, the consumer does.

That is why companies work so hard to keep the information from
consumers.

Every wonder why companies are working so hard to keep food labeling
limited and prevent source of production labeling? Because the
consumer would rather eat food grown in America.
