The mentality of trying

pretty much sums up the outsourcing that is done in the U.S. in trying to keep quality at some consistent level while trying to maintain a profit margin. I, however, have a completely different mentality. Buy local and you will find that the quality is much higher and when the stuff breaks one can yell at the person in person. The phone calls to yell at people are even being outsourced, nowadays. The mentality of profit comes first is highly detrimental to every aspect of society and promotes greed rather than providing a service or item to the perspective customer. A good seller might actually be put under by the evils of mass production, but one should see how society benefits from mass produced items. Just look at the threads where items are coming from China. Everyone complains of poor quality and makes puns of high lead content. Obviously, this is giving China a bad reputation as a country that cuts corners and cannot be trusted. For example, the cap within a cap within a cap. When the first items being produced on a mass production line are within specifications, that does not guarantee that the given product will be within specification later on down the road. Then you have to pay for QA people. The QA person does not know that there might be lead contaminants or other byproducts that are not or cannot be tested for. Finally, the main point is that there is some happy medium where But, one must keep in mind that if profit is to be held high, then the quality will dictate itself. The higher the quality, the more one must pay. The more one pays, the one more expects in return. You get what you pay for.
