What?

I clearly explained that he can buy the exact same product for a significant cheaper price, and now you are saying that since he is willing to buy the cheaper product once, that automatically means he is willing to sacrifice quality to get even a cheaper product?

Sure, that's certainly possible, but it has nothing to do with the equation I gave out or this little discussion we are having. We can skew it all day long really. Plus, he could do the same exact thing in Nebraska. I don't know about you... but I'm not exactly happy with my American-made products or service anymore.

He could buy from Nebraska and force the factory to hire only illegals. Or he can force the factory to buy all of the parts for the widgets from a shitty manufacturer in Ethiopia. Or he can force the factory to pay out minimum wage only with no benefits.

I mean the list goes on and on. None of it has anything to do with the A to A scenario I gave.
