American craftsmanship then and what we have now

It's not the craftsman that are letting the quality go, it's the "new" corporations looking out for the bottom line and squeezing every penny they can, even if it means poor quality.... "We need to keep our stock prices high, so the stockholders won't sell out"...

If one stockholder sells out, another will buy the stock in place of him... What a bunch of bullshit....
Oh, do you mean greedy capitalists
