Is A New Chrsyler A Patriotic Purchase?
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.
It wasn't that Consumers wanted cheap products, more like they needed cheap products.
Mainly due to stagnent wages, they are forced to go to Wal-Mart to buy cheap products.
Since corparations need profits & but only want to reward stock holders, they had to go overseas to supply cheap goods for the average low wage American consumer to buy.
One of these days, there might not be any consumers.
This is not the America of the 50's, 60's, Or 70's.
We have been reduced to working for low wages, long hours, no benifits, no sick leave, retirement & in fear of losing our jobs if we speak up.
If we had a WWIII, we would have to outsource for it.
Now, off my soapbox & back to work.
