Exactly right, but it happens regardless. It seems we're wired this way. Which means we need to stop kidding around and call it what it is. You can't offer people a cheap unsustainable choice and a more expensive better choice and then hope and pray that this magically works out well. There should not be an unsustainable choice. At the very least we should start pricing in externalities into unnaturally cheap products. It isn't really possible to produce a 5$ radio, ship it across the world and still run a profit. It's possible at the cost of a livable wage, basic human rights, reasonable work conditions, proper waste management, underpricing fossil fuel usage, special tax agreements, and so much more. The radio costs 50$, not 5$.
