But as far as buying mom and pop shop instead of bulk corporations, even those mom and pop shops sell global products.
No, "shit" does not happen. It was bad design. Just like the Max Jet 737 computer program flaw.
Corporate CEOs drive the designers and engineers to do everything as cheaply as possible.
It only takes a tiny part of ANYTHING to fuck up everything else, no matter how much you pay for it.
Now that it's working, you can fly it out of harm's way when the next hurricane passes through.
Not the point.
The point is no matter what you pay for ANYTHING, even with more expensive things, the more complex that object is, the makers will STILL try to make parts as cheap as they can.
There is no reason when you pay $1,400 for ANYTHING that a sliver of metal should cause such a failure. I din't buy it at a dollar store.
The 737 Max Jet crashes were caused for the same fucking reason. CEOs rushing for a buck.
I don't care if you are manufacturing a lawn mower, a cell phone or toilet. If you make it, it should be durable and last. Our planet is fucked up with it's bullshit attitude that "you get what you pay for".
Next time you go to a Walmart, just take notice of all the items, in the 100s of thousands. And know after days, weeks, months and years, those products will end up in a landfill, or worse, in our oceans. Then multiply that one corporate entity, by all other giant corporations worldwide that sell shit.
Do not tell me in your entire life, you have never been upset with the quality of a product.
