They are doing exactly what Japan used to do and what we did 30 or 40
years ago. Cut corners to save money.

Um, well, yes. That's how the system is supposed to work. Money flows
toward the lowest cost of production because that's what we (consumers)
demand.

However, if a factory produces shoddy products, no one buys their junk and
they go out of business. It's a system always seeking balance, and (best of
all) it finds this balance automatically, without human oversight.

It only gets really screwed up when gummint ("for the sake of the children",
always) gets involved.
