Well, you are close. American consumers want as much as they can get of
the cheapest crap in the world. The day-after-Thanksgiving was evidence
of that.

I've been saying this for years, and it finally seems to be a reality...

"You get what you pay for. When folks buy the cheap crap instead of
reasonable quality goods, the companies making the unwanted quality goods
will either go bankrupt or switch to the cheap goods."

If you want to do something about it, make a strong point to your retailers
that you WON'T support them if all they stock is cheap junk.

You SOMETIMES get what you pay for. Buying the most expensive item may get
you quality, or it may just subsidize an overactive marketing department.
Further, to say that scammers can't overcharge to insinuate quality would
be downright foolish.
