I provided a link to the first quack because it showed the nature of what I was talking about: a "positive" education on quality, namely what to look for.
One can digress into arguments about Levi's or nit pick any particular website/video all day.
But quality is just one factor, and if locally produced goods were of inferior quality to imported goods, it might be still be preferable to buy domestically produced goods.
- eesmith 2y ago> it showed the nature of what I was talking about My apologies. Yes, it did do that. The overall point is that you have to be there in person to judge quality - there was no advice for how to do it with internet sales. The rest of my reply was, as they say, me being triggered.
- Over2Chars 2y agoYes, you bring up a real problem - the dominance of "sale by mail". But I think if there is a return policy or a 'try before you buy' one then the usual quality inspection might work. Postal based sales (mediated by a web interface or whatever) would be a problem of evaluating the quality of domestic (presumably higher quality) goods. The now antiquated in-person retail outlet allowed you to inspect the goods before you purchased. Now we just hope some AI summary of reviews and a "star system" will provide us quality goods....?
