Half right, the producers can charge the anything they like for their products, but they will only sell them if there are people willing to pay.
Target, a private consumer advocate TV show, looked at the quality, labor and material costs for high end fashion items and low end bulk consumer items and found that the labor and material costs were higher by about 50% even after the material and labor costs were taken into account, they could still charge this price because people were willing to pay it. there is nothing wrong with it.
Quote:Do you think Blackwaters "contractor" prices are too high? Well, too bad. No bid contracts with insiders force you and me to pay their price. So how can our spending power (which is gone in this situation) effect them?
And you attack government spending and corporatism? What the fuck is going on in your brain? That is NOT what we support.
