I just told you the truth about why american goods cost so much and foreign products cost so much less.
until you forget what you think you know and actually get so you know what you need to know there is not much anyone can do but over flow your cup.
I don't think there's any question at all that government regulation adds a great deal to the cost of goods that are still made in this country. But this doesn't explain why American business is trying their best to piss of their customers, employees, and suppliers. Other countries have onerous regulation too and they have a huge cost to ship the products here. It's not really cheaper to make products in China using slave labor and 19th century technology but the Wall Street bankers and CEO's make money by killing American business so it's going to die.
Government doesn't mandate they contaminate food or make packaging thaty can't be opened. Government doesn't force business to look to short term profits in favor of their very survival. These are business decisions to rip off their customers and provide shoddy goods ansd service. You can'tr even call them to complain anymore because you get a phone tree designed to discourage everyone but Job himself.
