what quality Bob chooses is up to him, and not necessarily cheapest possible, look at Apple for example, I'm sure they didn't pick the cheapest option...

The fact that manufacturing jobs are leaving is no doubt a problem, but it's certainly not Bob's fault, and it's certainly not Bob's problem to resolve, so it makes no sense to point fingers at Bob and claim he is a greedy asshole because he is doing what any sane person would do...
