[quote=jpinpb][quote=outtamojo]I don’t understand- are you saying it’s not good to overpay for something because it’s made in America?[/quote]
No. Sorry you don’t understand. I’m saying it’s not good to make real estate be the main source of your economy and have it turn into an investment speculative bubble. I’m sure I don’t need to begin to explain it all as there are endless threads about it on this site. Perhaps you can read through some of them.
And again — overpaying for quality is different than overpaying for MIC crap.
But I suspect that your post was just one of taunting me, so I’ll just stop.[/quote]
Let’s make things even clearer — you’re not overpaying for something if you’re getting something that lasts longer, and is of better quality than the less expensive version.
For example, if one person pays $100 for a vacuum cleaner that lasts for two years, and another person pays $700 for a vacuum cleaner that lasts 20 years, who is “overpaying”?
We won’t even go into the fact that this “cheap, disposable” model is far, far worse for our environment than the “more expensive, but durable” model.
But, of course, the “cheap, disposable” model is more profitable, so we should all celebrate the superiority of “capitalism” and the “right to profit,” no matter what damage is done to others or our environment.
