>People purchase quality products and services,

Sadly, I don't think that's true. The overwhelming drive behind most buying decisions is price. That's why there are entire categories of consumer goods where you literally can't buy something well-made. Try to buy decent aligator clips, thumb tacks, a well made oven - the list goes on. Cheap and shitty drives good and well-made out of the market every time.



I agree, but when I wrote this I did write it with the intent to say 'there exist some people who purchase quality products and services'; I honestly didn't mean it as a statement of the majority.
