I get it. My point is simply that there is no reason for the industry to change because they are making a better profit as is.
Until they start getting sued for quality failures or people simply stop buying the products or standards are legislated there is no reason for them to do things differently.
Which was what happened with the auto industry. They started making cheaper and cheaper products. Until the consumer started buying foreign, class action suits were brought against the manufacturers, and legislation was enacted to require a certain level of safety. Suddenly the industry had to produce a better quality automobile.
Except that AMC is gone, Chrysler is basically gone and owned by some foreign owners, GM is broke, and Ford mostly only makes pickups. Detroit , once the manufacturing pride of the USA, is in shambles. It would have better off for us all if we had bought the shoddy USA cars.
So it would have been better to buy pintos and other cars that put our lives at risk? I'd rather buy foreign than put my family's life in danger in a shoddily built American car.
