But welcome to America I guess, where consumerism preys on the idea of you have to keep up or be better then everyone else around you. Because in the end that 50 dollar shirt makes you better then everyone else right?
If people place a value on the $50 shirt and judge you based on the $50 shirt, then yes... it does make you better than the person wearing the $5 shirt made in the same factory.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22604418 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:38:13 EDT Re: Why http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22604262 tangojoker : exactly. why is this news ? isnt this plain & simple economics. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22604262 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:14:17 EDT Re: Why http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22604111 neowulf : I'm going to have to say yes. Buying those overpriced items is stupid. It is one thing to have a designer suit that is tailor fitted. It is a whole different ballgame when you start buying designer t-shirts for 50-100 bucks off a rack because of a label, that was made in the same factory as that 5 dollar wal-mart t-shirt.

As for the Iphone, consumerism wins again. Am I saying that companies shouldn't make any money, not at all, and would be stupid to say that they should sell anything even close to cost. But I think that the point that they come out with a new phone every year that just happens to have just a few new changes, causes the whole newest best thing. More power to the people who have the money to buy the newest and latest gadgets. But sadly I think there is a number of those same people who also fall into credit debt and default on their mortgage and wonder where they went wrong. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22604111 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:55:41 EDT Re: Why http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22604107 imanogre : Hell, the coke I'm drinking right now cost me 1.50 out of the vending machine, yet cost .08 USD to make.

And this is news because? If someone is willing to be stupid and overpay for something, let them.
I hate too inform you that anything you buy is sold too you for more than it actually cost too make :) Does that make you stupid too? Anyone buy clothes? A vehicle? Does it cost the slaves in 3rd world countries $50+ dollars in material for a shirt or pair of jeans? Does Nike spend $150 dollars too manufacture Air Jordans? :D
