Well ...that's some Tier 2 reasons as to what controls quality of our products and services here in the U.S..
The single Tier 1 reason as to why a lot of our stuff is "low quality" is because we as consumers enable low quality by continuing to buy it.
All of us are experiencing the enemy of high quality and must recognize it for what it is ... us. If we were to stop buying low quality than guess what ... it would go away.
Yup, both comments are accurate in USA today - one problem is we can't FIND quality anymore ... even if you look. And so many items now are ONLINE ONLY, that when you go into a store, it has cheapest version, and then you cannot 'inspect' an item you want to buy that is often a more expensive price but nearly identical item. "OH, we can order that for you >>>>". Why can't I see IT ... Semantic Marketing abounds.
Add to that, and built-in expense for "free shipping" and the number of returns due to embellished marketing terms and lack of quality.
If it wasn't so serious, I'd have to laugh when we get a box labeled Made in USA", and a product labeled "Made in China" ... which one is made in USA, the box of course.
