Did we devolve and accept it or did we cause it? Are we buying cheaper
products because that is what we are given or is it because we keep
looking for the lowest possible price and want to have every luxury and
toy available? We value quantity over quality.

We were doing well when dad had a Chevy sedan in the driveway, now Dad
has a BMW and mom has the Volvo.

All of that though, has nothing to do with particular item pricing at
Amazon as was the original subject.
