If you really believe the majority of people think that way then try to explain Walmart.
Everybody will say they want jobs back here, but given two identical products made in China and the USA most people will pick the cheaper one.
- mc32 10y agoIn some cases it is long-run cheaper to buy the cheaper choice, other times it turns out cheaper in the long run to buy the expensive choice --however, this information is not easy to ascertain at the time of purchase and takes too much time for the average shopper to take into consideration when making a purchase. I'll pay for expensive jeans which will last over the cheap jeans which don't last a year. On the other hand, the fashion industry has a lot to answer for for making people always wanting the new and the trendy, even when it impacts the environment negatively (one pair of boots lasting 10 years vs one lasting a year, for example).
