I blame this sense of entitlement where you think everything that's worth owning should be cheap. That kind of thinking is what outsourced shoes to sweat shops, produce to South America and consumer electronics to Asia. Now yes, it's come to this. Companies from Runco to Lexicon have to rebadge Chinese-made products or go out of business. But it's beyond luxury items; it's the mindset that we must find a cheap deal for something to be worth buying instead of rewarding a manufacturer for workmanship and knowing their trade. I've never regretted paying for quality, but I have regretted buying cheap gear to save money.
