Remarkable American Engineering

Look in the mirror guys. The consumer drives the company. I still have an old kenmore tombstone reefer in my shop that my mother used years ago and I only got three years out of a new kenmore. WAL mart over Associated grocers, harbor freight over western auto. You can get a new mixer from Amazon shipped to you $29.95 but mom and pop mixer $79.95 Merle Haggard had it right,the good times are really over for good. Are we waiting for the”free bubble up”? Yes it is a different time!!!
I agree that consumers had some to do with it. But it's clearly two fold. Taxes and regulation didn't help a thing. Add to that everybody wants something for nothing and we end up with where we are. Cheap, disposable crap.
