I guess the dollar sign takes over and like everything else it gets made as cheap as possible and sold for as much as possible. Western world labour is very expensive . But this would make the consumer price tag cheaper being made in a sweat shop one would have thought. After what I have seen Nebulars have gone up to $30,000 lol...who wants one

That's what bugs me the most about our Free Enterprise system, companys try to reduce manufacturing costs in order to increase their profit-margin, unfortunately reducing manufacturing costs isn't without it's detriments, the cheaper you make something to build the less reliable it is, or the quality reduces, there is always some kind of tradeoff, it's funny how some old things keep on working when some new things break down within days of being bought.

And then you see piles of those broken new thing ending up as landfill.

And not to mention deliberate obsolescence being a part of modern manufacturing......
