Quality costs. No way around that.
Well I can’t disagree with any of your statements other than that last one, which is bogus. Quality costs some but rarely what we are charged for it. Some of those quality items with a nice brand name on them have 1000% profit built in at point of sale !!!! Which is just pure rip off. Many of the Chinese knockoffs at a fraction of the price come from the same factories ! Thieving gits the lot of them☹️
