True, the majority of people today buy cheap over quality when it comes to disposable goods.
Previous generations by and large did not do that.
It took a generation or so for everyone to follow along.

From a consumer standpoint, previous generations didn't have near the number of options. And quality isn't what it was.

buy local

I buy local when I can, myself. But I have my limits. I have to say, if I don't need it right away, I order parts from the likes of rockauto.com. Same brands at about half the cost. I like to shop local but I'm not a charity.
