I totally agree on all aspects... unfortunately I think the only way to change that mentality of American big business would be some kind of huge catastrophe, unless you consider our current economy to be in that realm lol.
I tend to think it is also tied to consumer apathy. Consumers wanted cheap products en mass and now they have them via Chinese Labor. Consumers wanted to buy cheap stuff en mass all in one place, so they got Wal Mart. Demand still comes before Supply.
