    I’m not sure competition would help too much. The incentive just isn’t good, because companies tend to focus mainly on price, rather than quality. If a factory makes a worse product, but does it for cheaper, then that is what will get picked.

      i do not like that you are right. the focus on price is too real and I’ve seen it played out enough times in my work experience. And to make the focus on price even worse, if a mom n pop store buys 1 pallet of a product they inherently have to sell it at a higher price than those cucks at walmart who buy 50,000 pallets of something at a time and can/do literally drive out other business because they can sell said product cheaper by volume.
