RE: Capitalism is bullshit.

in #life8 years ago

Think of it like this a company is making something and it will cost 10 cents more to use a more quality part that would make the item last 5x longer, instead they use the part they know will be a weak point and it will break in 2-3 years with average use. That is fraud, and happens all the time.

Sort:  

if you see it at their view that extra 10 cents per unit would remove a few employees because it breaks their profit margins. they create a product that fits their models and helps their employees. if the also used the best materials to make that product, think about the R&D needed to make that product so now the price becomes to expensive for their target market to afford. pros and cons to business not fruad

can justify it all you want but I was obviously not talking about a 50 cent item, I am talking about an item where ten cents is a very small fraction of the total cost of production.
