Re: Follow the leader.
It's not a direct compare and contrast. It is a little more than obvious that the value disparity between a car and a pizza is very large and beyond the scope of the topic, but still, that's not the point.
The point is, everyone, every single one of us, should get what we pay for. It's that simple. Nothing more, nothing less. Personally, I find it extremely dubious for any company to offer a product or service for sale and use that's not only unfit for its stated purpose, but doesn't even exist in its promised form.
There is a finite point were competition stops breeding advancements, innovation, and cost reduction, and instead breeds liars, cheats, and thieves. As a society, by and large, we accept that as being part of the world we live in. And don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise, that's just the way it is. Our lawmakers and law enforcers protect use for the most part from each other and from most petty shysters. Where our great country fails us, however, is when big business cheats us and steals from us. Whether it's by selling us non-existent products and services, or selling us medication that kills us, it makes no difference.
