Quoting: Phennommennonn If this were true wouldn't it make more sense to have the products fail AFTER the warranty expires, that way the manufacturer is not on the hook for the cost of the repair? |

My Dad passed a few years ago and I had to go back to Wisconsin to prepare the old farm (my grandfather's since 1939) to sell. I had to clean out the old barn that had both my dad's and grandfather's tools. TONS of old tools. Even from my great grandfather who was a blacksmith around the turn of the century. EVERYTHING, every tool I found was heavy as hell and still in perfect condition. I kept most of the stuff. From old mechanics tools to farm and garden tools, blacksmith tools, railroad tools, old tool cabinets etc. That stuff is tough! It'll last forever and and that's how long I'm keeping it. |

American used to make the best products in the world. But greed destroyed the American industrial capacity. Now all of the good shit is made overseas, by companies that actually understand that if you spend a little exra money to make a good product, people will by your product again. The only place that makes more wothless shit that the US is China. Thats changing , internal consumption is forcing companies that don't make good products to the wall, consumers here vote with their cash, its the overseas companies (and greed too), that don't do quality control that encourage this YAHshua the sound of His Name in English, YAH is short form of YHVH, Bible.PRAYERBOOK.Praisebook DOWNLOADs [link to www.docdroid.net (secure)] [link to pdfhost.io (secure)] [link to www.docdroid.net (secure)] |

I wouldn't call this a "conspiracy". It's a common business/production technique known more euphemistically as "quality". The business term of "quality" has little to do with how good/durable etc a product or service is - instead it's about producing something to a specification. Such a specification in the "consumer" market is generally very low to maximize profit and minimize material costs etc. Quoting: Charlie Frost The popular solution is to 'boycott' the companies that produce low quality products/services however in today's competitive market that is often difficult or impossible due to limited incomes (cash flow based) that reward thrifty spending in addition to the dog-eat-dog world of business competition. Whenever possible I favor more expensive but more durable products, especially if they are locally made. Over the years I have noticed that such products soon disappear from the shelves to be replaced by mediocre but higher selling items, so anecdotal evidence suggests to me that the public favor their pocket book over their conscious. very true, thanks for the explanation YAHshua the sound of His Name in English, YAH is short form of YHVH, Bible.PRAYERBOOK.Praisebook DOWNLOADs [link to www.docdroid.net (secure)] [link to pdfhost.io (secure)] [link to www.docdroid.net (secure)] |
